## What is Programming?
Programming (also known as coding) is the process of writing instructions to a device, such as a computer or mobile device. We write these instructions with a programming language, which is then interpreted by the device. These sets of instructions may be referred to by various names, but *program*, *computer program*, *application (app)*, and *executable* are a few popular names.

This quote perfectly highlights the importance of creating accessible websites. An application that can't be accessed by all is by definition exclusionary. As web developers we should always have accessibility in mind. By having this focus from the beginning you will be well on your way to ensure everyone can access the pages you create. In this lesson, you'll learn about the tools that can help you ensure that your web assets are accessible and how to build with accessibility in mind.

We have chosen two pedagogical tenets while building this curriculum: ensuring that it is project-based and that it includes frequent quizzes. By the end of this series, students will have built a typing game, a virtual terrarium, a 'green' browser extension, a 'space invaders' type game, and a business-type banking app, and will have learned the basics of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS along with the modern toolchain of today's web developer.

By ensuring that the content aligns with projects, the process is made more engaging for students and retention of concepts will be augmented. We also wrote several starter lessons in JavaScript basics to introduce concepts, paired with video from the "[Beginners Series to: JavaScript](https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Beginners-Series-to-JavaScript?WT.mc_id=academic-13441-cxa)" collection of video tutorials, some of whose authors contributed to this curriculum.
In addition, a low-stakes quiz before a class sets the intention of the student towards learning a topic, while a second quiz after class ensures further retention. This curriculum was designed to be flexible and fun and can be taken in whole or in part. The projects start small and become increasingly complex by the end of the 12 week cycle.

## Using it in Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard
This curriculum works well in these Learning Management Systems! Use the [Moodle upload file](/teaching-files/webdev-moodle.mbz) for the full content, or try the [Common Cartridge file](/teaching-files/webdev-common-cartridge.imscc) which contains some of the content. Moodle Cloud does not support full Common Cartridge exports, so it is preferable to use the Moodle download file which can be uploaded into Canvas. Please let us know how we can improve this experience.
## Using the repo as is
If you would like to use this repo as it currently stands, without using GitHub Classroom, that can be done as well. You would need to communicate with your students which lesson to work through together.
