WAI Curricula/Title

From Education & Outreach

Background

When we refer to the WAI-Curricula, we assume that this resource is going to build the foundation for accessibility courses, but that it will not be considered a course by itself. However, this approach is often missed out by people who do not belong to the education or faculty field. This is why we seek input from the group on how we should approach this, trying to strike a balance between the use of the word curricula on the title and the promotion of this resource's outreach beyond faculty and education/related professionals. Considerations include:

  • WAI in title provides credibility
  • WAI in title may be too prescriptive - causing people to think they have less flexibility than intended
  • 'Curricula' is unfamiliar term to many
  • 'Curricula' often misunderstood to mean a course that is ready to deliver
