UCEM Accessibility Awareness Course

 I really wanted to create an accessibility awareness course that is open to anyone. I learned a lot about accessibility from MOOCs such as "Access MOOC" and "Professional Web Accessibility Auditing Made Easy" by Ryerson University when these were available free for everyone. However, a lot has changed since 2016 and now most of the courses are paid for even on MOOC platforms.

My application to a funding body to create an open course was not successful. Since then I have taken the time to create this course for UCEM and I hope I would get the chance to publicly make it available with CC license.

The course consists of sections that offer seven milestone badges leading to a final Accessibility Awareness Badge.
