Welcome to Session 1: Web Accessibility for Developers
We’re happy to see such a great response to this course. Developers are the ones who make the web accessible (or make it inaccessible). It is they who have the greatest potential to improve the accessibility of the Web.
We hope that what you learn here, you’ll share with others, and perhaps even develop your own courses to teach others these skills. Any of you who teach computer science, or web development, we encourage you to use what you learn here in your own courses. The reason we created the course in the first place, is because these skills are not currently being taught in formal tech courses, and they really need to be.Session 1: Why learn about Accessible Web DevelopmentThis session is part OERu orientation, and part getting familiar with web accessibility requirements and with WAI-ARIA. Go through the OERu Orientation and the Course guide for all the information you need to do well in the course, then work on the first unit in the Learning pathways. Also be sure to introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum, and read through others intros to see who else is taking the course. There will be people from all over the world.
NOTE: If you have taken the other courses in the Web Accessibility for All series, you can skim through the content for this session.This session's tasks:- Introduce yourself in the Introductions Forums
Good luck with your studies!
