Personas cards--The accessibility cards is a set of 16 personas illustrating users with diverse disabilities. The personas include users described in the book "A web for everyone: Designing accessible user experiences" authored by Horton and Quesenbery (2014) and presented in W3C user stories (at: https://www.w3.org/WAI/people-use-web/user-stories/).

Understanding how to use a product under test is a key skill for software testers. In the past this knowledge has come from reading requirements documentation and working with others in the development team and the wider business responsible for the product design. But is this enough to understand how the product will be used?
Mobile users are different. The emotional attachment people have with their mobile devices is far greater than with websites and desktops. Their expectations are greater, and it’s far easier for them to make their voices heard through application store feedback.
This presentation will explain the typical ways in which mobile users are different and what we, as testers, can do in order to understand them better so that we can test better. We’ll look at how to use persona’s and profiles and see how to use industry data and analytics.
You’ll learn how to work more closely with other roles within the team such as UX and Design in order to test more effectively. And let’s not forget about the users themselves; we’ll also look at how you can engage the users directly and work with them to ensure that mobile applications are as good quality as they can be. You’ll leave with the enthusiasm and knowledge to take your mobile testing to greater heights.

Blogging Librarian vs. Blogging Library: Who Makes the Best Use of Emerging T...headtale
A presentation I gave at the 2009 CLA Emerging Technology Interest Group pre-conference at the McGill University Cybertheque library.
My general topic was the use of emerging technologies in public libraries to a mostly academic librarian audience. My approach was to compare and contrast the use of technologies by myself as a generally but not always tech-savvy librarian and my employer, RPL, generally but not always a tech-savvy library.
The day also featured presentations by John Fink and Jessamyn West and all kinds of live blogging, Twittering and post-event blogging as well:

Designing and deploying mobile user studies in the wild: a practical guideKaren Church
This tutorial was presented as part of Mobile HCI 2012 in San Francisco on the 19th September 2012. The tutorial aims to provide a practical guide to conduct mobile field studies based on the learning outcomes of the research I've been involved in while working as a Research Scientist in Telefonica Research, Barcelona. I cover how to design effective mobile field studies, the importance of mobile prototyping, the impact of various design choices on the study setup and deployment, how to engage participants and how to avoid ethical and legal issues. I've also tried to include listings of useful resources for those who are interested in conducting mobile field studies of their own.

The document discusses how libraries must adapt to changing user needs and technologies over the next 500 years. It notes that users, resources, and the concept of libraries have changed significantly with the rise of the internet, mobile devices, ebooks, and streaming media. It argues that libraries need to reinvent themselves by focusing on trans-literacy skills, virtual services, blended learning, and community engagement rather than physical collections in order to remain relevant in the future.

Steven is conducting a research project on technology and consumption for his Unit 1A.4 Multimedia course. He surveys how people consume digital technology nowadays, noting trends like connectivity through social media, convergence of TV and online/mobile voting, interactivity through moving images and text, and personalization of devices. Steven surveys his brother, mother, and friends about their technology use. His friend Haseeb uses an iPhone 7 and Xbox/PC to make YouTube videos, but says technology is not that important as he can live without it. Haseeb also notes digital technology can be bad if it takes over life and makes people antisocial. His friend Ricardo gave similar responses.
The internet is a global network that connects billions of computers and allows them to share information and resources. It began in the 1960s as a way for researchers and the military to connect computers, and has since grown exponentially to impact nearly every aspect of modern life. The World Wide Web, accessible via web browsers, allows users to view and interact with documents and websites over the internet. When browsing the web, a user's computer follows "paths" of folders and files to locate and retrieve requested information from other computers on the network. This sharing of data and resources across connected computers is what makes the internet so powerful.
This document provides a summary of emails sent by Sean Randall between January 2014 and February 2015 in response to requests from members of the public on various topics related to accessibility. The emails provide advice on screen readers, text-to-speech software, electronic resources for visually impaired parents, and designing accessible games.

Personalising Mobile Technology To Enhance Learning And Organisational SkillsNeil Milliken
This document discusses how mobile phones can be personalized to enhance learning and organizational skills, especially for those with disabilities. It notes that mobile phones are widely used and important tools that can be adapted with assistive technologies. The document outlines several ways phones are used to help those with conditions like dyslexia, including text-to-speech, note taking, calendars, and accessing information on the go. It also reviews features and apps that make phones more accessible and customizable.
1) The author grew up using early personal computers and digital technology and developed a passion for it.
2) Digital technology now plays an important role in both the author's personal and professional life, enabling constant communication with family and friends worldwide as well as facilitating their work.
3) The author has become reliant on various digital devices and gadgets over the years and doesn't think they could survive without access to digital technology.
The document summarizes the findings of a global research project on teens and their use of communication technologies. Key findings include:
- Teens are highly engaged with their mobile phones, which they see as central to their social lives and sense of identity.
- They make savvy choices between communication tools like texting, social media, and instant messaging based on convenience and the social situation.
- While computers are important, teens find their mobile phones more reliable and integral to their daily lives.
- Social media use varies between countries due to different platforms being popular or banned in schools.
This document discusses various aspects of digital technology consumption. It begins by defining key concepts like connectivity, convergence, interactivity and personalization. It then discusses how people consume digital technology in different ways, such as for work, fun or on a daily basis. Examples are given of how people use technology to communicate with others remotely through apps. Interviews are presented with the respondent's family members discussing their use of digital devices and apps. The advantages and disadvantages of immediacy, access, convenience, portability and connectivity are then explored.
Young people frequently use technology for both formal learning and informal activities. The document examines research on how 9-16 year olds use the internet, mobile devices, and computers for schoolwork, communication, leisure activities, and creative pursuits. It identifies different categories of technology use among youth, from intensive users who are rarely offline, to ambivalent or unconnected users who are more cautious about overuse. Overall, the research finds that while technology provides opportunities for learning, it can also be distracting, and both opportunities and risks vary depending on a young person's age, access, and orientation toward technology.
This document profiles the media habits of 4 individuals - Deborah, Tony, Lauren, and Debbie. It finds that all 4 rely heavily on devices for both work and entertainment. They spend 20+ hours per week on computers and 10-20 hours on smartphones. While TV was once important, computers and phones are now their primary sources of news, music, videos and communication. The trends show smartphones and computers are being used more for entertainment as their capabilities increase with faster browsing and more apps. Overall, technology deeply impacts their lives and they say they cannot live without their various devices.

Case Study created for Tangible UX, based on content provided by TUX stakeholders. A mix of existing slides and custom slides I created for this presentation
This document discusses how digital technology is consumed nowadays through connectivity, convergence, interactivity, and personalization. Connectivity refers to the ability to exchange information electronically. Convergence links technologies and media content, such as using a camera to record a movie. Interactivity involves media products based on digital, computer-based systems that allow near-instant communication like social media on smartphones. Personalization adapts interfaces to individual preferences, like customizing a blog or username.
This document discusses using student mobile phones as audience response systems in educational settings. It summarizes research from a demonstration where students used a TurningPoint product called ResponseWare to anonymously answer polling questions on their personal mobile devices. Most students felt positively about using their own phones and liked the freedom and familiarity. However, some struggled with lack of internet access or incompatible phones. The lecturer observed benefits like simplicity, anonymity and integration with presentations, but noted potential issues like reliance on wifi and text character limits. Overall, the research showed student comfort with using their own devices but also identified challenges to address for broader adoption.
Opera Mini is a popular mobile web browser that compresses websites to reduce data usage and load pages faster. While it mimics the computer browsing experience on mobile, it does not fully replace it. Opera Mini works across many phone models but some high-end phones may have dedicated browsers that are better integrated. The browser allows basic browsing functions like bookmarks and back/forward buttons but does not yet support live chat or VoIP. Continued updates are needed to improve features like overview and ensure compatibility with new phone capabilities and operating systems. Opera Mini provides a gateway to mobile internet content but users still need capable phones and should be cautious of potential scams online.

4. Carol has always loved reading, so her fading
eyesight is a sorrow to her. She tried recorded
books, but she didn’t like it. She made the
transi<on from ledgers to a so=ware program, so
she’s happy to use the computer. She has a
computer, which she uses the same way she
always did her work. She loves ge?ng emails
from her grandkids and friends. She likes reading
magazine ar<cles online, especially when they are
free. Last year, she discovered that she could get
her prescrip<ons more cheaply online, and now
she buys some things from the web. Her biggest
problem is that the text is so small. She’s learned
how to click on the symbol to make the text
bigger, but is frustrated when it doesn’t work the
same way on every site. She also finds that her
hands aren’t as steady as they used to be, and
she can’t always click on things accurately. She
likes her “old fashioned” mobile phone with large
buGons that she can feel easily. As her eyes get
worse, she wonders how long she’ll be able to
keep using the computer. All that light gray text
on a white screen. It’s just too hard to see.
6. Emily is determined to do things for herself, so
she’s tried a lot of different keyboards and
joys<cks over the years, looking for the right kind
of interac<on. Speech is difficult for her, so she
uses a communica<ons program with speech
output. It’s slow for her to type with limited use
of her fingers. She has stored many phrases and
sentences, and can make the program speak for
her more easily.
The iPad turned out to be one of the best
solu<ons. Mounted on the scooter, it’s always
within reach, and touch works beGer than a
keyboard and a joys<ck. In some situa<ons, it can
replace her older communica<ons program.
Instant messaging and social media have also
been great. The short formats work well for her,
and text can be a more comfortable way to
communicate than speech. Her latest discovery is
an app that scans the area to show her what
shops and restaurants are in each direc<on. “I
look like a dancing fool spinning my scooter
around, but it saves me a lot of <me finding
someplace new.”
8. Jacob is a paralegal in a law firm. He reviews
cases and writes summaries, cross-referencing
them to the clients. He’s building exper<se in law
and is hoping to go to law school in a year. As far
as Jacob is concerned, it’s the technology that’s
handicapped, not him. When everything is in
place, he can work just as fast and just as
effec<vely as anyone in his office. He’s a bit of a
gadget geek, always trying out new tools. The last
few years have been a lot of fun with all the new
apps, and VoiceOver on his Mac and phone lets
him use most of them preGy well. He likes the
challenge of learning new tools. His other
challenge is running. He’s training for a 10K run,
running with a club in his neighborhood and using
an app to plan his routes and track his distance.
He’s just started to use the iPhone app, Passbook,
and uses it to get train <ckets and other travel.
The regional rail system has an app, so he can just
pull up the barcode and scan it at the <cket
office. No fumbling for the right printed card—
total independence. Same phone as everyone.
Same app as everyone, and it all just works.
10. Lea was on track to become the editor of the
magazine she worked for when she started
having numbness in her hands and feeling
completely fa<gued by the middle of the
a=ernoon. She tried medica<ons and exercise
and ge?ng enough sleep, but finally she had to
make a change in her life.
She found a job where she could work from
home, on her own schedule. When she has good
days, it’s like nothing is wrong. But on bad days,
she measures every ac<on so she can make it
through the day. Some<mes that important
editorial mee<ng is all she can manage. She had
to adjust her computer: a new keyboard and
trackball make it easier to type, and a good chair
helps her avoid tender muscles.
The biggest change was learning to write and edit
using speech recogni<on so=ware, Dragon
Naturally Speaking. She’s lucky: the company
understands that it’s a real disability. With an
invisible disability like fibromyalgia, some people
just don’t get it.
12. Maria comes from a Mexican family. She grew up
helping her family members navigate the English-
speaking world. Her work as a community health
worker is a natural extension. She does outreach
and health educa<on in the Spanish-speaking
community in L.A. Her husband bought one
computer for home, so their kids can use it for
their homework. It’s become an important way to
keep up with their family back home. They post
videos of the children and use Skype to keep up
with cousins and friends. Her real lifeline is the
smartphone that her family got her last year. Her
daughter set up all of her favorite sites in her
bookmarks, and she uses the calendar to keep
track of her appointments. She isn’t sure how it
all works, but it’s wonderful that it does. She
prefers to read in Spanish, especially when she’s
looking up informa<on that she needs to share
with a client in Spanish. Her daughter showed her
how to translate a page on the browser. It’s not
very good, but she can use it to get the general
idea of the page contents. Her professional health
educa<on has online videos. Cap<ons help her
understand the lectures, especially for scien<fic
words.
14. The nice thing about being a graphic ar<st is that
most of the <me his work can speak for itself.
When Steven first started working, most reviews
were done in mee<ngs, but more and more his
agency works with clients using online
workspaces. He’s had some projects recently
where all of the communica<on was through the
web. Although he likes seeing live reac<ons, it’s
easier for him to par<cipate in the project forum
discussions using text rather than audio.
His iPhone has also been important. It was his
first phone with a good way to do video chat so
he could talk to his friends who sign. It’s annoying
when videos on the web aren’t cap<oned. How is
he supposed to learn about a new app if the only
informa<on is an animated video? Or if he’s the
only one in the office who doesn’t get the joke?
Like many people who learned ASL as their first
language, Steven prefers sign, but reads text,
since that’s most of what the web is. If a site is
just a big wall of text, he’s likely to leave unless
he knows it’s got the informa<on he needs.
16. Trevor is a bright 18-year-old who plays games
and watches videos on his laptop. He lives at
home with his parents. He aGends a special
school where the teachers and staff help with his
social and communica<on challenges from his
Au<sm Spectrum Disorder. He has problems with
visual informa<on and recognizing things on the
page, and his reading skills are not helped by his
trouble concentra<ng on the page or screen long
enough to read. His teachers showed him how to
make the text bigger on the page, and told him
how to use a printable view to hide all the ads
with moving images that distract him, because he
reads every word on the page very carefully and
literally. He can be easily confused by
colloquialisms and metaphors. He can also be
overwhelmed by sites that offer too many
choices. He likes using the school’s forum to talk
to his friends. It’s easier to just read what they
want to say than to listen and try to figure out
their facial expressions. He shares a laptop with
the family, but has first dibs on it because his
parents want him to get his schoolwork done. He
uses it for homework, but he really likes games
with repe<<ve ac<ons.
18. These days, Singapore is a center of the world,
and Vishnu is one of its global ci<zens. A=er
gradua<ng from one of India’s technology
colleges, he went to a postgraduate program at
the Na<onal University of Malaysia. His work on
visualizing data landed him a job with a
mul<na<onal medical technology company.
Vishnu was diagnosed with glaucoma and his
eyes have been ge?ng steadily worse, despite
treatment. He can adjust his monitor and his
phone, but many of the technical programs he
uses don’t have many op<ons, so he has started
using a screen magnifier and high-contrast mode.
He has several mobile phones. One connects him
to his family in India, one is for work, and one is
for personal use. He’s lucky to have good
bandwidth at home and at work. Some of his
colleagues from the university live in places with
much more erra<c connec<ons. Even so,
downloading large pages from European or U.S.
servers can be slow. But, if he had one wish, it
would be that people would write technical
papers and websites more clearly. His English is
good, but idioma<c expressions can s<ll be hard.
20. Lee is colorblind and encounters barriers when
shopping online. He has one of the most common
visual disabili<es that affect men: red and green
color blindness. Lee frequently shops online and
some<mes encounters problems on websites and
with apps where the color contrast of text and
images is not adequate and where color alone is
used to indicate required fields and sale prices.
When red and green color combina<ons are used,
Lee cannot dis<nguish between the two, since
both look brown to him. It is also very difficult for
him to make product choices when color
swatches are not labeled with the name of the
color.
Lee has beGer experiences with online content
and apps that use adequate contrast and allow
him to adjust contrast se?ngs in his browser. He
is also beGer able to recognize when informa<on
is required when asterisks are used. Lee can more
easily iden<fy the products he would like to
purchase, especially clothing, when the color
label names are included in the selec<on op<ons
rather than color swatches alone.
22. Alex has worked as a reporter for 20 years and
has developed a repe<<ve strain injury that
makes it painful to use a mouse and to type for a
long <me. Though it took considerable research
and <me to learn, he works with less pain in his
work environment using: an ergonomic keyboard;
keyboard commands without a mouse; voice
recogni<on so=ware on his computer and mobile
phone; assis<ve touch on his phone. Alex
encounters problems when websites cannot be
navigated by keyboard commands. He frequently
encounters web forms that do not have keyboard
equivalents. Some<mes it is difficult to skip
content and navigate to sec<ons on a webpage
without using many keyboard commands, which
is <ring and limits the <me he can spend working
comfortably. Using assis<ve touch on his phone,
helps him use fewer gestures and work longer.
Alex’s employer has built several custom work
arounds that provide keyboard support for his
use of the company’s internal Content
Management System with the inten<on to
implement improved keyboard support to benefit
all users on the next release of the so=ware.
24. Mar<ne is 62 years old and has been hard of
hearing since birth. She can hear some sounds,
but not enough to understand speech. As a child
she learned sign language and during her early
school years learned wriGen language. She is a
student again, taking online college courses. The
university she aGends provides sign language
interpreters and Communica<on Access Real<me
Transla<on (CART) writers who provide wriGen
verba<m text interpre<ng of spoken language for
her courses. Mar<ne has encountered barriers
when video and other media content are not
cap<oned. The university became aware of the
need and requirement to provide cap<oned
media and transcripts for audio content and is
now working with a cap<oning provider to
cap<on all content posted on university sites,
including course contents. The university has
found that the use of cap<ons and transcripts has
added benefits. Transcripts facilitate easier
produc<on of sub<tles in different languages,
improve the indexing of online content, which
op<mizes search results and improves
discoverability of the university’s content.
26. Ilya is blind. As the chief accountant at an
insurance company, she uses a screen reader and
smartphone to access the web. Her screen reader
and her phone accessibility features provide her
with informa<on about the applica<ons, and text
content in a speech output form. When accessing
web content, the screen reader reads aloud the
structural informa<on of a page, including
headings, column and row headers in tables,
links, and form controls, enabling her to navigate
the page, submit forms, and access informa<on.
She listens to and understands speech output at a
high speed. Sites that are not properly coded and
do not include alt text descrip<ons on images are
unnavigable and require a lot of <me to read text
from the top of the page to the boGom.
Occasionally she finds herself trapped in areas on
a page, unable to move to another area. As a
senior member of her organiza<on, Ilya provides
training to employees using video conferencing,
chat, document and slide sharing. Her staff
evaluated many tools before finding an
applica<on with accessibility features that meet
the needs of a staff with diverse abili<es.
28. Preety is a middle school student with aGen<on
deficit hyperac<vity disorder with dyslexia. She
has difficulty reading, but she enjoys her
literature class. Her school started using online
textbooks. She was ini<ally worried about using
this new format, but using text-to-speech
so=ware that highlights the text on the screen as
it reads it aloud, she realized that she can focus
on the content instead of struggling over every
word. The text-to-speech so=ware helps with
other online text; but, her experience with
websites varies. Some sites use graphics in a way
that helps her to focus on the content that she
would like to read, while other sites have
distrac<ng adver<sements and moving content.
She has problems with online content when the
naviga<on is unclear, and prefers sites that have
naviga<on cues including a naviga<on bar, search
box, bread-crumb trails, and a sitemap. Her
school is using an accessible library catalog
online. Before it she had to go to the library to
find books. Now she can search the catalog using
her phone, tablet, or laptop. She struggles with
spelling but the search feature that suggests
alterna<ve spellings and correct words is helpful.
29. Retiree with low vision,
hand tremor, and mild
short-term memory
loss
30. Yun is an 85 year-old with reduced vision, hand-
tremor, and mild memory loss; common age-
related impairments for someone his age. Yun
browses the web reading news sites and started
using social media to stay in touch with his family
and friends. Yun has difficulty reading small text
and clicking on small links and form elements. His
daughter showed him how to enlarge text in the
web browser, which works well on many
websites. He encounters problems when text
does not reflow when it is enlarged and he is
forced to scroll back and forth to read the
enlarged content, which means he loses track of
his place. He has problems with CAPTCHA images
found on many social media sites. The text is so
distorted, even when he enlarges it, that he o=en
cannot accurately enter the text. He has a beGer
experience on sites that use alterna<ve CAPTCHA
op<ons, unfortunately only a small number
currently do. Yun’s daughter gave him a special
mouse that is easier to control with his hand
tremors. He uses a web browser that saves
thumbnail images of his frequently visited sites,
which makes it easier for him to access the sites
he likes.
32. Luis has Down syndrome and has difficulty with
abstract concepts, reading, and math. Luis works
at a market, bagging groceries for customers. He
buys his groceries at the same market where he
works, but he is some<mes confused by the large
number of product choices. He also has problems
finding his favorite items when the store layout
changes. Recently, a friend showed him an app
for online shopping that has consistent, easy-to-
use naviga<on with clear and direct instruc<ons.
Luis is able to add the list of his most frequently
purchased items into the app and save it for
future purchases. He likes the search func<onality
that makes sugges<ons for mistyped words. The
app keeps a running total of the items in his
shopping cart which helps him keep up with how
much he is spending. His friend showed him
several accessibility features in his smartphone,
including word predic<on and the text-to-speech
func<onality which allows him to listen to reviews
posted by other users on the grocery app. Using
these tools, Luis has begun pos<ng his reviews
online. Now he uses the shopping app for
frequently purchased items and buys a few fresh
items from the store where he works.
34. Kaseem is a teenager who is deaf and legally
blind. She sees only small por<ons of a screen
and read text when it is large. She uses: screen
magnifica<on so=ware to enlarge the text on
websites; screen reader so=ware that displays
text on a refreshable Braille device; large
computer screen with high resolu<on and high
luminosity (brightness). Kaseem’s portable
electronic Braille notetaker includes e-mail, web
browsing, and note-taking func<onality. Her
smartphone includes GPS which helps her
navigate around the city. She uses the public
transporta<on website to plan her trips and view
bus schedules, but encounters problems when
she enlarges the text and it does not reflow or
wrap properly, making the maps difficult to use.
She has a beGer experience viewing the train
schedules that are properly marked up and allow
text reflow. Kaseem sent a message to the web
team informing them of the problems she no<ced
in their site and described how that site would
work beGer for her. She received an email
message thanking her for the informa<on and
informing her that the web team will improve the
accessibility of their website.
