Introduction
Usage: in a classroom setting.

Before using this curriculum in a classroom setting, please review the disclaimer and copyright sections (slides 3 to 5 and slide 17, respectively). The authors strongly encourage you to begin any new training course with some background on the W3C and WAI (slides 13 to 16 in this Introduction set).

You can think of the Guideline, Checkpoint and Example sets as separate (but related) teaching modules.

1. Teaching only the Guideline set:
   • Appropriate for an overview presentation.
   • Explain the concepts of designing accessible pages.
   • Describe the rationale for each guideline.
   • No "drilling" down to other modules (just use the right arrow/next page navigation button to advance throught the module).
   • Lower level of technical knowledge required by audience.
   • Can be tailored to short presentations using the Table of Contents to select specific guidelines.
   
   
2. Teaching both the Guideline and Checkpoint sets:
   • Appropriate for a more detailed presentation.
   • The Guideline slide explains the concepts and rationale.
   • Then navigate to the Checkpoint slide and review checkpoints for that guideline.
   • Some knowledge of HTML is expected of the audience.
   • Can be tailored to shorter presentations by selecting topics of interest from Table of Contents.
   
   
3. Teaching the Guideline, Checkpoint and Example sets:
   • Appropriate for a very detailed presentation.
   • The Guideline slide explains the concepts and rationale.
   • Then navigate to the Checkpoint slide and review checkpoints for that guideline.
   • Then navigate to the Example slide(s) and review the example(s) for that checkpoint of the guideline.
   • Greater knowledge of HTML is expected of the audience.
   • Can be tailored to shorter presentations by selecting topics of interest from Table of Contents.
