Accessibility guidelines for information kiosks

Hi.

I'm new to this list and after being a voyeur for a couple of weeks, thought
its about time I join the conversation.

I have 2 requests:

1. I teach HCI at undergraduate and postgraduate level. I would be
interested in hearing from anyone who has incorporated accessibility issues
into their teaching of HCI, to get ideas for how I could do likewise.

2. This semester my Maters students do a major usability project prototyping
a new interface for a touch-screen information kiosk that has in recent
times (since Oct last year) become popular with the public in Melbourne. I
realise this list is meant to be reserved for discussing web accessibility
issues, but I'm hoping this request with still within the realms of
acceptability. Clearly there are guidelines for accessibility for web
design, but what about the design of other products, such as information
kiosks? This is not be a major component of the Masters project, but I would
like to raise awareness of accessibility issues amongst my 49 students.

I look forward to your replies. Regards,

Oliver
