In this course, you will learn why it is important to embed accessibility in research design and practice. We will discuss how to adopt an accessible and participatory approach in different stages of the research life cycle including design and planning, recruitment, obtaining consent, data collection and dissemination of research findings. This training will equip learners to design their research programs and projects with greater attention to accessibility to improve the experience of researchers and participants with disabilities.
This course covers a number of topics including:
- Accessibility as an essential component of research.
