While awareness of accessibility standards and guidelines can help students learn to produce accessible web pages, overcoming real-world accessibility issues often requires creativity and flexibility. One way to develop these skills is to engage student programmers in design practice. This poster describes an undergraduate web programming course that used pedagogical techniques drawn from architecture and industrial design education to enable students to empathize with users with disabilities and to creatively address accessibility issues. Evaluative feedback from students indicates that this approach is effective in encouraging accessible design practices.
