Greetings. I took a look. I like the contents – I think with a good edit
the language can be made clearer and tighter.
My first very strong suggestion is about this process –I think it would
be much more efficient to take the text through an edit process using an
editing tool like Google docs that has a track changes/suggestions
feature rather than publishing draft language. This would allow more
people to efficiently suggest changes and would allow whoever's making
the changes to see each change and quickly accept or reject it.
Here's some suggested language – just for the first part of the page. I
cut-and-paste into an editor to make the changes, but cutting and
pasting back into this email lost the formatting.
Curricula on Web Accessibility
A Framework to Build Your Own Courses
Summary
This is a resource to help teach accessibility. You can use it to
develop courses or include accessibility in existing courses.

Essentials for Teaching Accessibility
Using the Curricula
This framework for teaching accessibility contains four modules that
help teachers show students how to make software accessible to
everyone.
The Foundation module covers broad accessibility concepts that
anyone in IT will benefit from. The Developer, Designer, and Author
modules cover skills for developers, designers, and content authors.
Teachers can mix-and-match from these modules to develop courses on
digital accessibility, or to include accessibility in courses such
as programming and graphics design. Teachers can combine modules to
create lightweight or in-depth training on accessibility. The
modules don’t prescribe duration, effort, or accreditation.
Some example uses:
A faculty lecturer might use parts of the Foundation, Developer, and
Designer modules to teach accessibility to computer science students.
An accessibility professional might tap the Foundation, Developer,
Designer, and Author modules to create an accessibility training course.
An employee training coordinator might use the curricula to assess
course content offered by other providers.
A procurer might base requirements in a training Request for
Proposals (RFP) on parts of the curricula.
A hiring manager might use the modules to compare the competencies
assessed for certificates.
Contents
The Foundation and Developer modules are available now. The Designer
and Author modules will be available in 2021.
