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. Page Contents Using the Curricula Contents Curricula Modules Structure and Terminology 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. * **Here's a screenshot that lets you see the edited text a bit better with basic formatting: * *Here's a screenshot of the ORIGINAL TEXT**for comparison – notice it's considerably longer:** * -- ______________________________________ Kimberly Patch (617) 325-3966 patchontech.com @patchontech scriven.com/kimpatch ______________________________________
