Personas are widely applied in Human-computer interaction and beneficial to understand the target users of a product. We use personas in the MOOCAP project to impart knowledge on Digital Accessibility. This paper presents selected course material of the MOOC Digital Accessibility. The proposed educational concept uses personas repetitively to build foundations of knowledge on accessibility. Additionally, an evaluation of the course material is presented.
