This reading group will cover a breadth of research papers on accessible computing.
To gain an overview of this research area, we will meet weekly to discuss one or more readings and to reflect on directions for future work.
Expectations. The weekly meetings will be at 1:30pm on Thursdays. This seminar is for 1 credit hour. Students are expected to attend the weekly meetings and to spend 1-2 hours outside of class each week reading and responding to the readings to prepare for the group meeting.
Who can attend? Students at any level who are excited about reading peer-reviewed research papers and participating in academic research-oriented discussions. Graduate students should directly register for this course, undergraduates are welcome to reach out to Annie.
All students should make sure the try to run discussion in as accessible a fashion as possible. This Paper and Video are good guides for that.
