Earlier this week, the MOOCA<\/abbr> project partners had a face-to-face meeting at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT<\/abbr>) in Ireland to discuss past achievements and future plans. One of the outcomes of this meeting is the list of specialised courses that will become available during or after the finalisation of the introductory course.<\/p>\n

In order to find out which course topics would be most in demand, we organised an online survey<\/a> that ran from 14 March till 11 April. We then looked at the relative popularity of the 19 topics we had proposed (the same 19 topics that you can check when you subscribe to our newsletter) and combined these topics into 10 courses:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Design Innovation: Inclusive Approaches<\/strong> (by the University of the Aegean): this course will cover the social model of disability<\/a>, smart homes, ambient assisted living (AAL<\/abbr>) and accessible kiosks (as examples of successes or failures of approaches to inclusion<\/a>), ergonomics aspects and business, and legislation and standards. The course will be aimed at designers, human resources managers and at other people who want to obtain a wider background in accessibility<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Accessible Mobile Apps<\/a><\/strong> (by the Université Paris 8 Vincennes Saint-Denis<\/span> and the Johannes Kepler Universität Linz<\/span>): a course specifically aimed at mobile developers.<\/li>\n
  3. Accessible Web<\/strong> (by the Technische Universität Dresden<\/span> and the Johannes Kepler Universität Linz<\/span>).<\/li>\n
  4. User-Centred Design for Accessibility<\/strong> (by the Høgskolen i Oslo og Akershus<\/span>): this course also covers user testing<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. User Interface Personalisation<\/a><\/strong> (by the Hochschule der Medien, Stuttgart<\/span>): this course will be developed under the project No One Left Behind<\/a> and will use mobile apps and games as examples.<\/li>\n
  6. Assistive Technologies<\/a><\/strong> (by the Université Paris 8 Vincennes Saint-Denis<\/span> and the Johannes Kepler Universität Linz<\/span>).<\/li>\n
  7. Accessible Learning and Teaching<\/strong> (by the University of Southampton).<\/li>\n
  8. Intellectual Disability and Inclusion<\/strong> (by the Dublin Institute of Technology): this course is relevant to many of the topics from our survey: approaches to inclusion, assistive technology, mobile development, web accessibility<\/a>, user-centred design, accessible learning, and standards and legislation.<\/li>\n
  9. Accessible Documents<\/a><\/strong> (by the Technische Universität Dresden<\/span>): this course is aimed at authors of presentations, lecture materials and other types of documents. You will learn how to make documents accessible in Microsoft Word and Powerpoint, how to describe images, how to use tables properly and how to handle mathematics.<\/li>\n
  10. Accessible Gamification<\/strong> (by the Hochschule der Medien, Stuttgart<\/span>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These courses will be free but it is still early to announce where and when these course will become available. If you want to be sure not to miss any announcements, please subscribe to our newsletter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
