Although the demand for web development skills is growing, little research has been conducted on the accessibility of web development for blind learners and practitioners. To address this gap, this research focuses on answering the following questions: (1) What are the recurring accessibility issues for blind people learning and practicing web development? (2) How can we design and evaluate accessible support tools to engage and motivate blind students in web design and development? and (3) What techniques/tools support blind students in learning web development? To address these questions, I conducted a comprehensive literature review (CLR), interviewed blind web programmers, and then designed, implemented, and evaluated a remote workshop designed to introduce blind students to web development. The CLR yielded five broad issue categories: (1) visual information without an accessible equivalent, (2) orienting, (3) navigating, (4) lack of support, and (5) knowledge and use of supportive technologies. Interview findings validated the use of CLR-derived categories and revealed nuances specific to learning and practicing web development. These findings, along with a collaborative tactile diagram design process, informed workshop material and curricular design. The workshop included synchronous lectures, followed by one-on-one time with teaching assistants (TAs); a resource-rich website; tactile diagrams; and a discussion forum. Pre- and post-workshop surveys, observational field notes, exit interviews, and unit quizzes were used to evaluate the impact of the workshop, as well as techniques and tools. All students demonstrated acquiring new skills by creating and publishing their own websites, showed an increase in self-efficacy, and maintained a high level of interest in the subject. TAs also benefited from workshop participation, reporting increased confidence in understanding accessibility concepts, stronger interest in pursuing work related to accessibility, and plans to apply what they had learned. Accessible curriculum and supportive tools have the potential to stimulate confidence and increase workforce skills among blind web development students. Continued work to ensure that web development education and practice are accessible will help advance the democratization and accessibility of the web, as well as embolden new web developers.
