The course focuses on designing accessible digital experiences:

1. Accessibility Principles: POUR (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust).
2. Design Considerations: Color contrast, typography, and keyboard navigation.
3. Assistive Technologies: Screen readers, alt text, and ARIA roles.
4. Testing & Compliance: WCAG guidelines and accessibility audits.
5. Project Work: Redesign an existing interface to meet accessibility standards.

Modules are designed to build inclusive design skills:

• Weekly accessibility audits and redesign tasks.
• Mini-projects focused on improving usability for all users.
• Peer reviews and inclusive design critiques.
• Capstone project: Create an accessible interface and document your design decisions.

Classes are held once weekly:

• One lecture session covering accessibility theory and tools.
• One lab session for testing and redesigning interfaces.
• Optional office hours for compliance support and feedback.

This course empowers learners to design inclusive and accessible digital products. It emphasizes empathy, usability, and compliance with global standards.

By the end, students will be able to identify and address accessibility barriers in their designs.

• Design inclusive experiences for all users.
• Understand and apply WCAG accessibility standards.
• Prepare for roles in inclusive design and compliance.
• Build a portfolio of accessible design projects.
