Mature and robust software applications should demonstrate several crucial qualities; namely, they should supply the functionality expected by the stakeholder(s), perform efficiently, be secure, and be accessible. However, despite government legislation and growing demonstrated need, accessibility is not a priority for a compelling amount of software applications being developed currently. The primary objective of our Accessible Learning Labs is to not only educate participants on how to properly create accessible software, but also effectively illustrate the need to create accessible software. Our experiential labs enable practitioners, instructors, and students to engage with the material using only a browser. This tutorial will benefit a wide spectrum of participants in the software engineering community, ranging from beginning-level students to experienced practitioners who want to ensure that they are properly creating inclusive and accessible software.
