Section Title:
Accessible Electronic Material
Section Info:
Topic: Creating and Procuring Accessible Electronic Materials. The purpose of this course is to deepen the accessibility awareness of participants by exposing them to a broad range of accessibility concerns when creating electronic materials. This will include an examination of how people with disabilities are impacted by different technologies. The course will expose students to the building blocks of the web HTML and CSS and provide an introduction to multimedia accessibility and document formats including MS Word, PDF, and PowerPoint. Students will also be invited to explore some of the more challenging areas of accessibility, like maps and emerging media-rich design trends. The course will close with a look at best practices for purchasing and vetting third-party vendors and give students the opportunity to apply techniques for conducting usability/accessibility testing for audiences with disabilities. It is strongly recommended that students complete the initial course in this certificate sequence (AHS 494: Understanding Disability and Assistive Technology) prior to enrolling in AHS 494, Accessible Electronic Material.
Restriction(s):

Topic: Designing Universally Accessible Web Resources. The purpose of this course is to help students understand how to apply usability and accessibility principles and techniques, including W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and WAI Accessible Rich Internet Application (ARIA) techniques, to design and create highly usable and accessible web resources. Students will learn how HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript interact with web browsers to make content available to assistive technologies, such as screen readers. Throughout the course, students will use assistive technologies and automated tools to understand the accessibility features of HTML5 and ARIA. It is strongly recommended that students complete the two previous courses in this certificate sequence (AHS 494: Understanding Disability and Assistive Technology, and AHS 494: Creating and Procuring Accessible Electronic Materials) prior to enrolling in AHS 494, Designing Accessible Web Resources.
