Fw: HCI and Academic Computing Education in the future - Computing Curricula 2020

I noticed there is some mention (2x) of accessibility (using the terminology "universal access") in this > 200 page report on "Paradigms for Future Computing Curricula." It would be encouraging to see greater mention, as there was in a similar report on Information Technology Curricula 2017<https://www.acm.org/binaries/content/assets/education/curricula-recommendations/it2017.pdf>. They are encouraging feedback through their survey (see below). Consider providing feedback on the need for greater mention of the need for teaching about accessibility in Computer Science curricula. Documents such as this shape post-secondary computing curricula around the world.

Subject: HCI and Academic Computing Education in the future - Computing Curricula 2020

Dear colleagues,



The Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020) is a joint project launched by professional computing societies to examine the current curricular guidelines for academic degree programs in computing and provide a vision for the future of computing.  “Humans and Organizations” is one of the 6 knowledge domains in all curricular guidelines, with “User Experience Design” or “Human-Computer Interaction” as an important knowledge area.



We have now produced a final draft report and invite you and your colleagues to review the draft report and complete the survey.  The stakeholders of the report are, industry and employers, current and potential students and their care givers, government policy makers and academia.



Please feel free to distribute this draft report to your mail lists and any other stakeholders you

consider appropriate.  The survey must be completed by June 15th 2020.  All comments will be taken into account as we produce the final report.



You will find the draft report and link to the survey at:
