Assistive Technology use and effectiveness in higher education and the workplaceE.A. Draffan
This was produced for the ClaroLearning Conference - two workshops on the use of various technologies to support learning and various tasks in the workplace - specifically for those with specific learning difficulties including dyslexia.
This document describes an audio transcription and text-to-speech system that aims to help people with disabilities or difficulties typing. It outlines the problem of some users not being able to type quickly or see screens clearly.

Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren.

Editor's Notes
Workbook: Refer to Appendix 1 in back of workbook – “A Brief Introduction to the SETT Framework” Presenter says: The SETT framework was developed by Joy Zabala as a way for school based teams to focus their technology solutions for students with disabilities. The SETT is not an evaluation process but instead is a way to ensure that all the factors that lead to technology success are identified before a tool is put in place for a student. For our purposes, since we will be speaking about adults – we will change the “S” from “student” to “skills”.
Presenter says: Now that we have discussed the input into the computer, lets spend a couple minutes discussing some software tools that could assist people with either physical or learning disabilities.
Just remind them to use this service
Lisa – Demo Livescribe Pen Livescribe pen – about $125 Sound note app - $4.99 – performs the same functions as Echo on iPad
Lisa – Demo Co:Writer Mike – Demo Kurzweil or Read:OutLoud Presenter says: For people that struggle with reading and writing, perhaps providing auditory support may help them. There are many tools available to enable the computer to read information back to the person to assist with comprehension. One example of this type of tool is a scan and read software tool such as Kurzweil 3000. This tool allows the person to scan in a page directly into the computer and have the computer read this information back. Presenter: Perform a quick demonstration of features of Kurzweil. Presenter says: As for word predication, this type of tool will assist with completion of words by providing a list of words that the computer “thinks” the person is trying to type. If the word is on the list, the person can simply click the word with the mouse or select a corresponding number and the computer types the remainder of the word. This type of tool can increase someone’s typing speed considerably. Presenter: If time permits, show a quick demonstration of word prediction, either Co:Writer or WordQ
Presenter says: A software solution that we are asked about all the time is using voice recognition software to enable a person to type into the computer with their voice. While on the surface people expect this to be a easy solution, it is actually one of the more difficult tools to use effectively. There is more to this tool than simply “Talking”. Instead, the person has to complete this entire cycle for each sentence they type. First the person must think about what they want to type. Then they must compose the sentence in their head. For someone people, they may not have the skills to construct a sentence in their head. Now, they speak the sentence into the computer. Once the sentence is in the computer they have to read what the computer wrote and check to make sure it is accurate. This step may become a hurdle for an individual that does not read. If that is the case, they may need auditory support like we discussed in the last slide. If the computer typed the wrong information, the person must now correct that information. This requires various voice commands and formatting skills. Now after all that, the person can finally move onto the next sentence and the whole process starts again. Presenter: If there is time, either give a quick demonstration of Dragon or have someone from the crowd use it. If you pick a volunteer, don’t do voice training, show how the program works right out of the box.
