User-Centric Design for Accessibility equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to create digital products that are inclusive and accessible to all users. This course emphasizes hands-on projects that allow learners to apply accessibility principles directly to web and mobile design. Participants will engage in interactive sessions that foster collaboration and creativity, culminating in a final project that showcases their ability to implement user-centric design strategies.
The curriculum covers essential topics, including the principles of universal design, accessibility standards, and practical techniques for evaluating and improving the usability of digital interfaces. By the end of the course, participants will not only understand the theoretical frameworks surrounding accessibility but will also be adept at applying these concepts in real-world scenarios. The course encourages the publication of participant outcomes in Cademix Magazine, providing a platform for showcasing innovative solutions in user-centric design.
