Week 0This week we cover broad term definitions for accessibility and usability, along with basic theory and practice. |

Week 1In our second week, we begin our discussion by considering a variety of definitions for 'end user'. This leads us to consider usability as a concept in code re-use (including for programmers with disabilities) and SEO. We examine the origins of the open web, disability rights, and subjectivity in field practice. We will also expand on types of usability testing, including analytics, surveys, individual, focus groups, contextual, first click, eye-tracking, and SUS. |

Week 2For our third week, we will dive into digital accessibility techniques, including linting, semantics, accessible content, and controlling focus. Usability topics will include personas, and task analysis. |

Week 3Our fourth week review materials from the previous class, which not everyone was able to attend. If anyone has any roadblocks regarding their test plan, this will be a time to address them. We will also be performing basic linting via HTMLLint and writing an accessible accordion. Reading: The Curb Cut Effect |
