HCC 6510 - Inclusive Design and Accessible Technology

3 Credits (3 Contact Hours)
This course explores the use of inclusive design processes in the development of accessible technology. Inclusive design is focused on gaining an awareness of human diversity (e.g. age, gender, disability, etc.) and attempts to design user-centered technologies that reflect users’ often varied needs. Students learn how to utilize inclusive design practices to identify user characteristics, study user needs, ideate, design, prototype and evaluate technologies for accessibility. Topics include, but are not limited to, inclusive design, ability-based design, the ethics of accessibility, the legality of inaccessibility, and disability-related terminology and assistive technologies.
