Independent Accessibility Project Work, 5 op

During the course, you will deepen your knowledge and skills of accessibility. We assume you have completed the course Fundamentals of Accessibility and at least 10 credits from the course Methods and Technologies of Accessibility and Their Evaluation. 

During the course, you will carry out a project individually or in groups (you have to find your own group). The project can relate to, for example, the evaluation of a website or making a cultural event accessible. We have a set of enthusiastic stakeholders with whom you can work with or you can have your own partner/company as a collaboration partner. The project can be done in English or in Finnish depending on your partner. 

 The project can either be a practical implementation (e.g. taking actual measures to make an event accessible, or modifying a website to make it more accessible) or it can be a report/a plan that you produce for your partner, explaining the measures that would need to be taken to make a particular service or product more accessible (it would then be up to the partner to decide whether they want to carry it out). In both cases, you are required to write a project plan (beforehand) and a project report (afterwards) that you hand in to the course coordinator for evaluation.
