Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of an ICT Accessibility MOOC at Georgia Tech. The course was designed based on the Continuing and Professional Education Rubric, Second Edition and the experience and expertise of the instructors, instructional designers and staff from three different entities at Georgia Tech. The MOOC not only teaches students about accessibility but is also provided on an accessible platform. The findings show that the course is a success in providing knowledge about accessibility and accessibility solutions in the United States.
