The course content was comprehensive and well-organized, covering a wide range of topics related to assistive technology. It provided a solid foundation by introducing key assistive technology concepts, including different types of assistive devices and software available to support learners with diverse needs. The instructors also delved into the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of assistive technology, ensuring learners develop a robust understanding of the field.

One aspect that particularly impressed me was the course's emphasis on inclusivity and accessibility. The instructors highlighted the importance of identifying individual needs and tailoring assistive technology solutions accordingly, showcasing the course's commitment to promoting inclusive education. Additionally, the course materials were designed to be accessible, including captions for videos, alt text for images, and compatibility with screen readers.

This course gave me a great insight on how do people deal with their disabilities and what are the different types of assistive technology they use to get access to everything in life. The assignments, especially the one to make accessible word document and power point presentation were very practical and helpful. Thank you Coursera and University of Illinois for teaching this course online. Thank you to Manipal Academy of Higher Education for giving me this opportunity to enroll in this course.

I liked this training better than the one for my college in that the video's helped me follow along much easier. The Accessbility training course my college required was very heavy in text and I don't do well with that for some reason. I actually know how to format my documents now after 2 decades! Thank you!

A wonderful course as a fairly comprehensive introduction to inclusive design. It inspires you to learn more about this field and create content for all kinds of people. It also helps to open your mind and learn about new experiences and how to understand the world despite the limitations.

Well organised content and great learning experience with appropriate knowledge checks!! Now onwards I care about accessibility and inclusive design concepts to make sure that any content I create is accessible. I will do my best to create awareness among people about these concepts.
