Curriculum guidelines for Masters level programmes in Design for All
The principles and practices of Design for All (including inclusive design and universal access) provide a multi-disciplinary perspective on the complex needs and the rights of people to have access to the information society, and the process of designing Information and Communications Technologies and services (ICT) that are socially inclusive.
The curriculum guidelines for Masters in Design for All in ICT have been developed in the context of WP6 of the DfA@eInclusion Coordination Action to meet the demands of the ICT industry, user organizations and EU policy on eInclusion for a professionally qualified workforce. This workforce will be able to design and deliver accessible ICT systems and services, help to advance policies and contribute to the development of accessibility standards, and the development of new, innovative and fully inclusive ICTs.
The aim of these curriculum guidelines in Design for All in ICT is to assist academics defining new courses, students who are looking for courses and employers who are looking to recruit qualified graduates who have a solid grounding in Design for All in ICT.
