About this open educational resource
This OER module was created by Thomas Westin 2018, based upon research by Grammenos, Savidis, & Stephanidis [1]. The use of the method is here also for games that are not universally accessible. Thanks to Dimitris Grammenos for feedback. Thanks to Doug McInnes for the Asteroids remake. If you have suggestions, questions or comments, please contact the OER author: thomasw@dsv.su.se
