Abstract:

Web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) have been the de facto standard for web accessibility evaluation for more than two decades and therefore have been introduced into legislation and university curricula in Computer Science. The usefulness of using WCAG to evaluate web accessibility in educational contexts is clear but the reality is that both teaching and learning how to apply WCAG is complex, and the challenge is even greater if students do not have the technical skills expected for WCAG’s applicability.
