Enabling your disabled market through UXMark Flint
The government estimates that in the UK alone the disabled consumer market (Purple Pound) is worth £249 billion per year. Why would an organisation miss out on a market this big? How do we enable the vast variety of disabled users to use our products? And how do we involve them in the UX process? There is no average disability to design for so how can our disabled participants help us make our systems as flexible as possible?

We know a lot about how to meet the checkpoints for accessibility, but how well do you understand what makes a good experience for people with disabilities? Only getting out and seeing how people use your product will help you understand what makes it a delight to use --- or a pain. User research and usability testing should be part of your accessible UX toolkit.
You went to a lot of trouble to put that content online. Plain language will help your audience find it, understand it and use it. Writing clearly makes information more accessible – and usable – for people who don’t read well, are reading in a second language, or are listening to the text. That means better informed users, happier customers, and fewer angry support calls.

Symposium CONF 201 Leadership vs Management from a Military Background – What...PMI-Montréal
There are several incidents when a Project Manager(PM) needs to lead vs manage in a project. This presentation will cover the speaker’s military experience in leadership complimented with 6 years of PMI OVOC volunteer leadership appreciation. Demands from senior management both military and civilian along with the ability of the staff supporting the project tend to challenge the PM and their skillset in delivering a project. The dilemma of leading a diverse team forces the PM out of their comfort zone and to take a position of leadership vs managing through a set of processes and templates. Leadership is not unique but has to be applied in a concerted effort to ensure success on a PMs project and to meet the expectations of senior management. Key take always from this presentation include: 1- what is leadership 2- understanding the difference between leadership and management 3- use of Military situational leadership and it's impact 4- are we born leaders? 5- should PMs be managers and/or leaders? 6- how to self-enhance yourself as a leader 7- how does PMI address the leadership expectations PMI is a leader in Project Management on a Global front with a keen interest in helping its core of volunteers develop and lead their respective chapters. The dynamic of the organization allows PMs to enhance their leadership skills and to also manage through refined chapter issues. As part of this presentation, the attendees will gain insight into the framework that allows them to define themselves as leaders and/or managers and to determine how they need to change to be more effective within their respective chapters to become effective leaders.

Matt May tweeted an observation in 2016 introducing Trickle-Down Accessibility and recognized prioritizing our blind customers could lead to less support for others.
Focusing on screen reader accessibility has distinct advantages for product developers. If your application works with a screen reader, it should also be usable with a keyboard, voice recognition, and switch control devices. Screen reader accessibility also falls in line with automated testing tools.
However, there are many disabilities, and assistive technologies, that are not necessarily benefited by this focus on the blind/low-vision community. Color contrast, closed captioning, readability, consistency in design, user customization, session timeouts, and animation distraction are just a few examples of concerns that often go unaddressed.
Participants will explore ways in which online technology, such as YouTube and VoiceThread, can be used in and outside of the classroom to encourage students’ enthusiasm and facilitate language learning. Participants will survey the surprising project outcomes and explore the flexible grading rubrics (i.e., those that become more rigorous as each assignment’s intensity increases). Participants will also review and critique sample student projects, learn how to create a video, and design a workable rubric to take back to his or her own classroom.

processes, the talk will take the form of a brief introduction,
software demonstration and examples and Q&A session, examining
both backend and front end design considerations.
HCID 2014: Developing jewellery for the future. Dan Moller, Kovert Designs.City University London
Wearable Tech refers to electronic devices worn on the body. Almost all devices released to date are in the form of rubber fitness bands or smartwatches, both worn on the wrist. Whilst in its infancy, Wearable Tech has some innovative potential uses. Imagine being able to control any device in your home by the snap of a finger; unlock your door, car or computer just by touching it; be alerted if your stress level, heart rate or blood sugar level is abnormal or even allow your doctor to remotely administer medication if he sees your vitals drop.
We’re on the cusp of a new wave of electronics which will re-define the way people use technology. But fundamentally, people need to want to wear these devices. Whilst Samsung and Apple will no doubt take care of the early adopters and technology advocates who care about functionality and convenience, the fashion conscious consumer has yet to be accounted for. This is the gap in the market that Kovert will exploit through being not only a wearable tech company but also a fashion brand.
This talk is about how, as Designers, can we move beyond the need to
design a screen into everything and embrace physical interactions? Now computing is becoming ever more ubiquitous & entwined into our lives, surely an acceptable solution isn't to cover our world in icons & screens. There is an emerging trend of beautifully crafted products that are becoming the face of complex systems, yet they have no screen at all and still provide a rich suite of interactions that are easily accessible by the user. What tools are available to us as Interaction Designer’s to give us the courage to step away from our wireframes & start designing beautiful, engaging physical interactions?
HCID 2014: Defending users, helping businesses: the transactional aspects of ...City University London
The idea of 'designing for users’ is most appealing until business reality hits home: what the users want is work to discover, not what the Product Owner had in mind, what the competition is doing, too hard to build, and so much more. UX is often called at the last minute, in the hope that miracles can happen, “can you add some ux there, it’s not doing terribly well” being an oft-heard preamble to a conversation that’s likely to tumble down and capsize hopes and dreams. The practice of UX requires to support business reality whilst catering for, and sometimes defending users. I will share with you how I've ported my UX knowledge in the teams I've worked with to ensure UX doesn't become the costly harbinger of bad news, enemy of design, arch-enemy of tech and general spanner in the works. I’ll explain what worked and didn't work, the appropriate pace to grow UX in any environment and why HCI academics are the best card in my pocket.

HCID2014: Adapting to responsive web design. Matt Gibson, Cyber-duckCity University London
We can no longer predict how people are accessing our websites
now, let alone in a few years’ time when the technology people use
to access the web will inevitably diverge even further and perhaps in
ways we haven’t even considered yet. Rather than seeing this unpredictability and lack of control as a problem, we should embrace
these ‘known unknowns’ and the inherent flexibility of the web.
Put simply, responsive web design is about being more flexible and assuming less about our users, from how they’re accessing our websites and what technology they’re using to their environment. This talk will discuss the four tenets of good responsive design: content parity, performance, future friendliness and accessibility against a backdrop of Matt's experiences designing and building responsive websites over the past 3 years with plenty of useful tips and takeaways along the way.
The aim of this presentation is to introduce the concept of accessibility, and will cover what is meant by being accessible, why it’s important, who is affected, and how you can incorporate accessibility into your design, development and planning. There will be particular focus on the practical aspects of testing for accessibility.
HCID2014: How to involve children in design. Monica Ferraro, City University ...City University London
What are the advantages and challenges inherent in working with children in the design process for creating games or apps? How do you stop them getting bored, and get useful information?
This case study looks in detail at a project that tried to do just that, and provides some handy tips at the end.
The case study builds on the speaker's dissertation, Designing applications for children, that was submitted as part of the Masters course in Human-Centred Systems at City University London in September 2012. For the dissertation, she worked with children aged 4-5 years old to design an iPad application to learn the names and sounds of the letters, and to read and spell simple words.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Talk Outline
— What is Aphasia?
— Participatory Design
— The GReAT Project
— Overview
— Overcoming challenges to the typical design
process
— Lessons learnt – aphasia accessibility
— Outcomes and implications
#HCID2013
3. What is Aphasia?
— Language difficulty affecting around one
third of people who have had a stroke
— Difficulty finding words and constructing
sentences
— Difficulty understanding words and
sentences
#HCID2013
5. Aphasia - prevalence
— About 250,000 people living with aphasia in the
UK (Speakability, www.speakability.org.uk)
— Approximately 45,000 new cases each year (Office
of National Statistics, 2001)
— “Aphasia affects about one million Americans [..]
and is more common than Parkinson's Disease,
cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. More than
100,000 Americans acquire the disorder each
year. However, most people have never heard of
it.”(National Aphasia Association, USA)
#HCID2013
6. Participatory Design
“… the direct involvement of people
in the co-design of things and
technologies they use.”
(http://pdc2012.org/about.html)
#HCID2013
7. Methods include
• Participant talk describing what a
person is doing as they are doing it
• Role-play
• Work involving detailed written
material
• Work involving abstracted ideas
#HCID2013
8. The GReAT Project
(Gesture Recognition in Aphasia Therapy)
Aim: to develop a computer-
based gesture therapy tool using
participatory design methods

12. Methods
Participatory workshop series including 2/3
people with aphasia and 2/3 researchers
Absent
• Participant talk describing what a person is doing as
they are doing it
• Role-play
• Work involving detailed written material
• Work involving abstracted ideas
Present
• Strong focus on hands-on methods
• Multiple concrete examples
#HCID2013
13. Challenges to the typical design
process
and possible resolutions
#HCID2013
14. Session Structure
1. Introduction to scheduled activities
2. Round table gesture activity
3. Demonstration of technology
4. Trial use of technology by one consultant followed
by interview at computer
5. Tea break
6. Trial use of technology by remaining consultant(s)
#HCID2013
15. Language Difficulties
and the Design Process
Challenge
• Eliciting detailed responses to materials
Resolutions
• Careful material choice
• Adjustments to activity structure
• Additional time provision
#HCID2013
16. Abstraction of Information
and the Design Process
Challenge
• Comprehending and making projections
about imagined / abstract scenarios
Resolutions
• Provide multiple concrete examples
• Carry out discussions in situ
• Avoid use of highly abstracted ideas
#HCID2013
17. Information Retention & Retrieval
and the Design Process
Challenge
• Reflecting and commenting on activities from
the recent or not-so-recent past
Resolutions
• Provision of structured interview
• Recall carried out directly after activity
• Recall/commentary facilitated by
demonstration
#HCID2013
19. Distractions
and the Design Process
Challenge
• Maintaining
the
necessary
focus
to
access
and
feed
back
upon
ac5vi5es
Resolu-ons
• Ac5vi5es
carried
out
one
par5cipant
at
a
5me
• Background
distrac5ons
kept
to
a
minimum
• Filler/rest
ac5vi5es
provided
(tea
breaks!)

20. How to overcome design process
challenges
— Time
— Demonstration / Interaction
— Concrete examples
— Simplicity
#HCID2013
21. Outcomes
for Participants with Aphasia
Tanya
Improved
confidence
Liked working with
a speech and
language therapist
who understood
her aphasia
Tom
Having people
with aphasia
involved in
design “was
good.”
Ann
Enjoyed the
sessions –
specifically the
gesturing and
games
Martin
Improved
confidence:
“…there, and there,
and there”
Sarah
Improved
gesturing
Sometimes
frustrating working
with those less
able to
communicate
#HCID2013
22. Outcomes
for Participants with Aphasia
All reported that they had been listened to and
their opinions taken into account
All reported that they would take part in
something similar again
#HCID2013
29. Lessons from the GReAT project
1. Consistency
2. Simplicity
3. Rewards
4. Individual Differences
5. Potential of ‘Gaming’
#HCID2013
30. Outcomes
from the GReAT project
Therapy tool has since been used with 10
people in their homes
Establishment of further projects involving
people with aphasia in the review and
development of technological applications
#HCID2013
31. Implications
Possible to include people with aphasia in a
participatory design model
The choice to do so informs both choice of
methods and ultimate design
Critically, the process empowers the user
group
