*Where Usability & Accessibility Meet*

This course will review standards for usability and accessibility, focusing
on the
concepts of Universal Design, Web Standards and user-centered design.
Resources
and texts from media design experts such as Jeffrey Zeldman, Derek
Featherstone,
and Donald Norman will be complemented with online resources and materials.

*Course Scope*

Topics to be covered include (x)html standards, CSS, semantic web design,
user-centered
design, WAI-ARIA, and validation tools, among others. There may be
occasional live
lectures and guest speakers - delivered through web conferencing but taped
for later
and repeat viewing. However, most lectures will be prerecorded.

*Term-Based vs. Self-Paced*

Students can take the course term-based, completing weekly assignments and
following
the overall schedule of the course throughout the semester; or self-paced,
completing
assignments at the student's own pace within a 6-month period. (Students
may petition
for an extension to the 6-month deadline if needed).
