Summary:
As someone who is interested in inclusive coding education, I want to be able to learn more about the state of accessibility in current popular educational coding tools/environments, such as Scratch or Cubetto or Blockly, and to be able to compare them easily so that I can make an appropriate choice for my students/family/friends.
Details:
- Determine a criteria for examining existing tools, which covers different types of accessibility needs
- Gather a list of popular existing coding tools and environment
- Do a literature scan of papers, blogs, and other information about accessibility of these environments
- Try to out these environments and assess them based on our criteria above
- Summarize the things we learned in a relatively short post on our website or wiki
Acceptance:
- We've identified a reasonable number of tools to assess
- We have enough hands-on experience as well as literature to assess them
- A summary is available on our website or wiki in a form that is most likely to be useful to educators or prospective collaborators
Dependencies:
- Buying or borrowing any necessary commercial coding tools
