6.811: Principles and Practice of Assistive Technology (PPAT)

Teo, Li, Greenberg, Dusek, et al., MIT
courseCourse website from MIT on building software/assistive technology systems for specific client with a disability. PPAT is a 12-unit, interdisciplinary, project-based course in which small teams of students work closely with a person with a disability in the Cambridge area to design a device, piece of equipment, app, or other solution that helps them live more independently. Over the course of the term, each team meets with its "client," iterates through multiple prototypes, and learns about the challenges and realities of designing assistive technologies for people with disabilities.

EGR 110: First Year Design Project – University of Portland

University of Portland
projectsThe challenge is designed to emphasize the essence of engineering and computer science; that is to solve a problem under a variety of constraints, attempting to meet criteria that are often conflicting, and to do so in association with colleagues who may have slightly different viewpoints than their own. Successful completion of the challenge will not only involve following through the design process from a conceptual design to a product, but also emphasize non-technical aspects of engineering. The process will involve innovative thinking, the design process, sketching, hands-on creation, technical writing and oral communication. To address accessibility, the challenge could be designing for an individual who has limited ability.
MOOCAP – Training Courses in Accessible Design

MOOCAP, Stuttgart Media University/European Union
curriculaMOOCAP was a European project whose name stands for “MOOCs for Accessibility Partnership”. The goal of the project was to provide education on accessible design in ICT. We created 11 free online courses, four of which were MOOCs. The goal of these courses was to teach you how to create accessible media and content, such as web sites, mobile apps and office documents. In addition, you could learn about how to design products and systems for daily living in order to make them accessible to, understandable by and usable for a wide range of people. We provided both an introductory course and a few specialised courses.
