Good Morning Everyone!

I just wanted to forward an accessibility resource that Dominic Winter from the DOC had shared.

Subject: Teaching Accessibility in Computer Science

[Sent from outside SBCTC]

Happy nearly Friday everyone,

This was recently passed to me and I thought that any of you who have Computer Programming or Digital Design programs may find this useful.

A new free, accessible, online, community-sourced book to help CS instructors teach accessibility topics in their CS courses. This resource is designed to be a living document and updates/changes/additions will be made as new information becomes available. Curated by faculty and graduate students at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science, University of Washington.

Citation: Alannah Oleson, Amy J. Ko, Richard Ladner (2024). Teaching Accessible Computing. https://bookish.press/tac, retrieved 4/4/2024.

This book addresses this problem by offering concrete pedagogical ideas for educators about how to integrate accessibility into their computer science classes. It teaches basic foundations of accessibility that are relevant to major areas of computer science teaching, and then presents teaching methods for integrating those topics into course designs. Our hope is that computer science teachers will be able to read the first few introductory chapters, and the chapters relevant to their teaching, and use their learning to teach accessible computing in their classes.

Another reason this may be helpful is that the Department of Justice has recently updated their digital accessibility requirements for Public Entity Web Content. This may increase the need for skilled content developers that can provide inclusive design and accessibility features.

Thank you,

Dominic Winter M.Ed.
