This paper discusses an approach for Web accessibility education tacking advantage of short introductory courses. In this approach, screen readers were used to immerse students in the problems experienced by blind users while using the Web. Experimental results from an evaluation exercise carried out by students showed that the use of screen readers was helpful to better understand and to reinforce the concepts of Web accessibility.

“…However, similar challenges and pedagogical themes emerge, including: the lack of a pedagogical culture to support accessibility teaching and learning [20]; active pedagogies focused on project-based and problem-based learning ( [1], [10]) the promotion of tool-based approaches to answer perceived learning needs, with attendant discussions of learning by doing, immersion, and simulation (e.g. [2], [7]); embedding accessibility within a wider HCI curriculum (e.g. [26]); approaches that are understood to facilitate student empathy (e.g.…”

This paper identifies some of the challenges of teaching and learning accessibility through the lens of pedagogy (which deals with the theory and practice of education). We argue that accessibility education in computing science presents a set of unique and challenging characteristics for those engaged in accessibility capacity building. Significant moves are being made to embed accessibility within academic curricula and professional domains. However, through a qualitative thematic review of the accessibility pedagogic literature, we find that the field lacks the pedagogic culture necessary to support widespread excellence in teaching and learning. Nonetheless, our review identifies aspects of this small but important literature that indicate how a pedagogic culture for accessibility can be stimulated through research, debate and discussion, to promote a more pedagogically-grounded approach to the field as a whole.

Abstract. Versión 2.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) was published in December 2008. WCAG 2.0 has a different language, a different structure and a different rationale to WCAG 1.0. All of these influence how to teach web accessibility. In this paper we present an innovative approach that we have foliowed in a web accessibility module that is taught at the UPM's School of Computing as part of the BEng degree in Computer Science. Our approach combined several teaching methods: traditional lectores, collaborative learning sessions, a short exercise on web site evaluation and, finally, a short project consisting of the development of an accessible web site. In the paper we describe the methods used and the results.
