Intro to Accessibility is a course with some good content, but it also suffers from some significant flaws in understanding how to use the Coursera platform, and flaws inherent in the Coursera platform.

1. One peer-review assignment has you downloading other students' (i.e. random people from the Internet) Word docs. While you can do some things in read-only mode, the assignment wants you to run the Accessibility Checker which is not available in read-only mode. This is a security risk and should be removed; the assignment should be re-formulated to not require such a security risk.

2. Peer reviewed assignments need to be processed in a timely manner, or they should be removed. I was reviewing submissions from roughly 2 years ago. The feedback I received from one user was not valid or useful; how do I submit feedback on their feedback? But most importantly, Coursera needs to fix this type of assignment or scrap it. Getting 3/4 through a course only to realize your submission may sit indefinitely does not feel good.

3. Some of the multiple choice questions are poorly worded / of poor quality.

4. Broken links in the resources pages of each module.

Very detailed and comprehensive course that not only covers technology and accessibility for online teaching but also background information on the law in regards to accessibility and the differences in types of disabilities that affect learning. Also very helpful techniques that can be integrated into teaching as a way of creating a course and content using principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Activities were challenging but 100% applicable to teaching and working environments to improve the accessibility of electronic communication.

Video captioning and creating accessible documents using Word, PowerPoint and Adobe PDFs is also covered in the course.

I paid full amount and finished my assignment before time to earn the certificate but the course does not allow me to earn the certificate before a certain date. This is very unreasonable of the university and coursera. I have submitted all my assignments and finished my materials but I have to wait until 2 weeks to get the certificate. This is not how online learning works. Either refund my money or send me the certificate ASAP.

I received a new job offer after taking this course. The materials helped me to learn about becoming formally trained and certified in ensuring ADA accessibility for our university's health sciences school. I printed out all of the materials and am now well on my way towards a upgrading my career and working in an area of education that is truly meaningful and impactful on our students' learning experiences. What could be better than that?

I learned SO much! Still considering my path in terms of a career but I know that whatever I do, I will carry what I learned with me and put it to good use! Thank you:)

Course content is insightful as a beginners guide, though the context of all examples are in a university environment rather than external companies. The reason for one less star is that it took a long time for enough assignments to be submitted to complete reviewing, which holds up your ability to finish the course.

The videos are too long. I think it is better to divide them into shorter parts. I feel the lack of information on architectural accessability

Its a brilliant course, i enjoyed thoroughly. The course material was planned in an organised way, best part is the interviews of the people who serving assistive technology and as well as using assitive technology in their lifestyle. "Preach what you do" is an apt example for University of Illinois, its a great institute , best example in accomodating assistive technology and providing inclusive education to all.

I am very thanful to REVA university for giving this opportunity to enroll in courseera and choose my favourite topic to persue.

I wish Course era to flourish in greater heights providing opportunities to more students and people looking forward to persue education as important tool in serving people.

with best regards

Best course to go for. Only problem I had faced with the peer review. I got failed four times for no reason. People are not co-operative. But finally made it!

Melhor curso de acessibilidade que encontrei, hoje consigo aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos no meu trabalho e escrevo documentações acessíveis.

Todo perfecto en el curso, pero se me dificultó que no tuviera traducciones en algunas videos.

Overall, a helpful course.

Some real content and content quality issues with the reading, the peer engagement design, and some of the videos.

If you're a blank slate on Accessibility debates, language, and practices: it's a great class.

If you have any working knowledge on these, it will be very, very easy and perhaps going a level more advanced is better choice.

A really good course to cover some of the essentials in accessibility. I would say the focus is mainly on the digital aspects of accessibility, but the course also provides a good overview of other facets of accessibility as well, such as legislation, the various types of disabilities and potential opportunities in the field.

Really it was a new insight to the field of accessibility and inclusive design, the course is apt for beginners level. really happy to learn how to make accessible documents

La modalidad de presentacion y la calidad de contenidos es óptima para una persona que recién arranca a aprender sobre Accesibilidad y Diseño Inclusivo

Very Well organized, nice discussions and learning was happy ...

Solid background information and variety of examples!

Great Course for a beginner learning accessibility.

it was a very great course.

Very comprehensive!
