Hi All,

Next semester I'll be teaching computers and society to a group of majors.
I've decided to make about 1/3 of the course address accessibility.

I've been thinking of interesting projects. One is to turn a group loose
with Jaws on some new piece of software. The catch is that they must turn
the screen off when they use Jaws. We've got a couple of copies in our
computer labs. So, they'll be able to practice. Is this a reasonable
project? What can I do to make it tractible. Is there a particularly good
software application to use? Should I use an accessible one, a partially
accessible one, one that is inaccessible or a combination?

Any Ideas?

Wayne
