Researching pedagogy in digital accessibility education
Researching pedagogy in digital accessibility education
Teaching Accessibility in the Digital Skill Set is a 5-year study researching the pedagogy of digital accessibility. Digital disability rights legislation and the digital transformation spurred by COVID-19 expose a lack of accessibility capability in the workforce that indicate major gaps in graduate education and other programs. This pedagogic research responds by examining how accessibility is taught across a range of contexts, working with educators to provide an evidence base and enrich pedagogic culture. This paper describes the study's rationale, methodology, focus and activities. We also reflect on how pedagogic research methods can make a sustained contribution to computing education practice through research outputs, and a methodological process designed to stimulate dialogue, networks, reflexive teaching and learning development.

Abstract
Teaching Accessibility in the Digital Skill Set is a 5-year study researching the pedagogy of digital accessibility. Digital disability rights legislation and the digital transformation spurred by COVID-19 expose a lack of accessibility capability in the workforce that indicate major gaps in graduate education and other programs. This pedagogic research responds by examining how accessibility is taught across a range of contexts, working with educators to provide an evidence base and enrich pedagogic culture. This paper describes the study's rationale, methodology, focus and activities. We also reflect on how pedagogic research methods can make a sustained contribution to computing education practice through research outputs, and a methodological process designed to stimulate dialogue, networks, reflexive teaching and learning development.
