My name’s Eyevin, and I’ll be teaching you about accessibility as you explore this webpage. Accessibility is an important aspect to consider when it comes to any design process—especially web design. As you tour the following modules, you’ll learn what accessibility is, how it relates to text and design, and why it's crucial to incorporate practices of accessibility into your own website.
While you’re here, you also have the opportunity to learn more about Unity, a computing cluster partnered with the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and one of the many applications it supports RStudio. Check out Hailey’s video, her design process, and let me walk you through how we generated captions for our tutorial. And above all, enjoy!
