The ACCESS repository

To teach about accessibility you need appropriate materials. The Accessibility Common Courseware Exchange for Software Studies (ACCESS) is a shared repository of tried-and-true learning materials contributed by people who are teaching or working in this field.

All the materials in the ACCESS repository are the property of the individual professors/institutions and reside on their web sites. The ACCESS repository is part of the Academic Initiative Open Courseware Exchange and is available at no charge to Academic Initiative members.
