Research project: Teaching Accessibility in the Digital Skill Set
Imperatives for digital inclusion mean there is growing demand for graduates with the knowledge and skills to produce digital services that are accessible to disabled people and older populations. Accessibility is mandated by a body of laws that constitute digital disability rights. However, a lack of progress in the delivery of accessible digital services, tools and resources mean that disabled and older people face persistent digital barriers. There is a pressing need to develop accessibility capacity in the digital workforce.
