Teaching Digital Accessibility in Computing Education: Views of Educators in India

We replicated surveys from the US and Switzerland to assess who among CS faculty in India teaches accessibility and the barriers they face. We also included a qualitative analysis of faculty perceptions. Findings show that few CS faculty teach accessibility and face similar barriers to those identified in Western studies. The analysis suggests a need for better training on accessibility concepts and sensitization to disabilities, as well as greater exposure to current research and pedagogies.
