Type of Project: Funded project Transnational project
Description / Topics
People with disabilities who use websites and web services often have to deal with inaccessibility. Their experiential knowledge can be the starting point for developing expertise on web accessibility.
Based on this basic assumption, the Users as Experts project developed an innovative concept for training and building user expertise in the field of web accessibility and made the results available on the project website https://www.funka.com/en/user-as-experts .
The goal of the research project was to promote inclusion and career opportunities for people with disabilities by providing an innovative educational program that builds on personal experiences and skills, specifically aimed at developing user expertise of people with disabilities in the area of web accessibility.
The project consisted of the four Intellectual Outputs (IOs):
• IO1: Repository of user expertise best practices https://www.funka.com/en/projekt/user-as-experts/main-activities-and-results/best-practices/,
• IO2: Methodological toolkit for the identification, professionalisation and certification of user expertise https://www.funka.com/en/projekt/user-as-experts/main-activities-and-results/methodological-toolkit/,
• IO3: Typology of web accessibility user expertise among persons with disabilities https://www.funka.com/en/projekt/user-as-experts/main-activities-and-results/typology-of-user-expertise/ and
• IO4: Model curriculum for a user expertise course in web accessibility https://www.funka.com/en/projekt/user-as-experts/main-activities-and-results/curriculum-for-course-in-web-accessibility/.
The project "Users as Experts" was a strategic partnership funded by the EU education program Erasmus+. The project ran from 11/2020 to 10/2022.
