The target group of this course is people who have an interest in making digital systems accessible. This may include project managers, developers, students, and teachers. The course does not require any specific skills.<\/p>\n
The Canvas server at the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences (HiOA<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n The course will be a four-week self-paced course. Students will be expected to spend 3 hours per week on reading & watching the materials and doing exercises and assignments.<\/p>\n This course will focus on involving users in the design and development of accessible ICT<\/a><\/abbr> systems. It will cover what user-centered design (UCD<\/abbr>) is, why it is important, and how to use it to ensure accessibility<\/a> of your ICT<\/abbr> systems.<\/p>\n In this course you will learn how to use user-centered design to ensure accessibility of ICT<\/abbr> systems. The course will cover different aspects of user-centered Design (UCD<\/abbr>), including principles, activities, processes and methods. Challenges of using UCD<\/abbr> to ensure accessibility will be discussed and methods for addressing the challenges will be covered. The course will also give suggestions to current and future ICT<\/abbr> project leaders on using UCD<\/abbr> in their projects.<\/p>\n How to use UCD<\/abbr> to ensure the accessibility of ICT<\/abbr> systems will be at the heart of the course. You will gain knowledge on the different methods to involve diverse users in the UCD<\/abbr> process, including users with disabilities, such as how to recruit users, how to communicate with users. The methods will be demonstrated through examples. You will practice the gained knowledge through quizzes and exercises.<\/p>\n Weiqin Chen, Norun C.
