[en] Curricula on Web Accessibility: A Framework to Build Your Own Courses

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.

    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.
