Abstract

This paper describes the design of a graduate level course focusing on developing interfaces for purposes of rehabilitation, catering to students from multiple disciplines. Students work on projects relating to the needs of individuals with disabilities, under the supervision of internal and external mentors. The course has been designed to help students develop both research and mobile interface technical design skills. Course structure and deliverables are described, along with the challenges faced and lessons learned from multiple offerings of the course.
