The Challenge of Teaching to Create Accessible Learning Objects to Higher Education Lecturers

Abstract

The EU wide regulations as well as the domestic regulations of many EU members ask to include accessibility lectures on architecture and engineering studies’ curricula. From our point of view, such requirement should be extended to include accessibility lectures at the studies of teaching, this way the teachers are able to develop accessible learning objects while are also able to lecture the creation of accessible web content so that Information Society is not an excluding society. Teaching how to apply the WCAG regulations is always challenging and that challenge becomes bigger when the student is one that has not the technical skills that are expected from any reader of the WCAG regulations. You will find in this article, the experience of Sidar Foundation and how we succeeded teaching that tough matter to mathematics, science or language teachers. We will discuss as well, the limitations that currently exists for the full autonomy of the teachers when creating or validating accessible-for-all contents.
