Abstract

As diversity efforts in computer science education strive to make programming more accessible, we take a step forward by exploring the collaborative context. We present a duoethnography of a mixed-ability team collaborating on a group programming project. We (one sighted and one blind individual) immersed ourselves in a collaborative programming project using a social coding platform (i.e., GitHub) and triangulated our self-reflexivity through cross-checking reviews and interviews. By analyzing the interaction logs on GitHub, code writing in integrated development environments, and interview notes, we show the distinct approaches adopted by the sighted programmer and the programmer with visual impairments, as well as the social implications of visual impairment. This research offers reflections on the accommodations and technologies provided to support mixed-ability teams collaborating on a group programming project.
