Our Accessibility Learning Labs both inform participants about how to properly create accessible software, and also demonstrate the need to create accessible software. Five labs are currently available on the topics of: Colorblindness, Hearing, Blindness and Dexterity. Material is available on our website: https://all.rit.edu Due to their self-contained web-based nature and the inclusion of all instructional materials (e.g., slides, quizzes, etc.), the labs enable easy integration into a wide variety of curricula ranging from high schools (9-12) to graduate courses.
