Teach Access Curriculum Development Awards

The Teach Access collaboration was established in 2016 to foster the teaching of accessible technology design and development to undergraduates in computer science, design, human computer interaction, user experience research, and related fields.

Check back on Wednesday, March 17, 2021 for a full Call for Proposals and a link to our application form.

The Teach Access Faculty Grants program has resulted in the creation of hundreds of new course materials by our grantees, as well as several research papers. The database of course materials is linked below, followed by research papers written by past grantees.
