W4A 2010 Education Tool to Support the Educational Process Chris Bailey
The document describes an educational tool called the Accessibility Evaluation Assistant (AEA) which aims to guide novice auditors through an accessibility evaluation process. The AEA lists accessibility checks based on the evaluation context, such as the user group and site features being evaluated. It provides instructions on how to perform each check and allows auditors to record results. Future work involves further developing the tool and testing its effectiveness at improving the consistency of evaluation results compared to existing methods.

The document discusses a project to integrate student exam results from a student records system into an institution's virtual learning environment. It aimed to address inconsistent presentation of exam results, reduce duplication of effort, and improve privacy. The design developed object-oriented data models and gathered positive student feedback on a wireframe. The development team queried the student records database directly and created a backend to support other database systems. The application allows flexible, 24/7 online access to live exam results through a single sign-on. Future enhancements could include promoting timely input of results, a request feature for students, and inclusion of staff comments.
EU4ALL
EU4ALL was a €593k project funded by the EU Framework Programme 6 from 2006-2011 with a total budget of €10m. The project aimed to build an accessible learning framework by developing requirements and typologies for institutional preparedness, a software architecture for personalized content delivery, and implementing a system in Moodle. The Open University tested the framework with 125 people through focus groups, surveys and user trials. The trials helped promote accessibility standards and confirmed the benefits of accessible solutions.

The document discusses using Qualtrics to streamline the student application process for a nurse extern program. It describes the previous challenges with managing applications through email and manual data entry. Implementing an online Qualtrics survey provided an easy user-friendly form for both students and faculty. It allowed the program to efficiently track applicants, confirm submissions, and weed out ineligible candidates. The Qualtrics system provided collaborative access and the ability to easily find information. Lessons from the first year were discussed, such as combining essays and providing file upload options to further improve the application process.
Sulis snapshot of usage and evaluation
This document summarizes student and faculty evaluations of Sulis, the learning management system (LMS) adopted by the University of Limerick in 2006. Over 2,400 module sites have been published on Sulis, which has seen over 2.5 million visits. Student surveys in 2008 and 2011 showed increased usage of and satisfaction with Sulis over time. A 2009 faculty survey found that over half of respondents used Sulis, with benefits including easy access to materials and communication tools. The taskforce will continue reviewing Sulis usage as the university's strategic e-learning direction is determined.
CMS versus non-CMS common core science courses
This document compares the experiences of teaching common core science courses at the University of Hong Kong with and without a course management system (CMS). The author found 7 key factors were better with a CMS: 1) Tutorial group set-ups, 2) Email communication, 3) Sharing of student work, 4) Sharing of instructor materials, 5) Assignment submissions, 6) Delivery of feedback, and 7) Plagiarism checks. While some functions can be replicated without a CMS, overall a limited CMS is better than no system, especially for large classes.

This document discusses accessibility and universal design in education. It defines accessibility as including accommodations for people with disabilities as well as design choices that can benefit all learners. The document outlines Quality Matters standards for accessibility in online courses and provides examples of how to make documents, presentations, videos, assignments, and learning management systems accessible. It also discusses the principles of universal design of instruction, which aims to design courses that provide multiple means of representation, expression and engagement to accommodate all learners.
Universal Design, Accessibility, and the Typing Experience
The term "universal design" describe the concept of designing products to be aesthetic and usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life.
The typing experience, particularly on mobile and tablet devices, is a poor experience, but it's even worse for users with only one hand! If we were going to re-design cross-device typing systems, how would we go about it?
Through the lens of typists who only have the use of one hand or arm, this presentation outlines the difference between universal design and accessible design, and how universal design could be a step in the right direction toward creating a better typing experience for not only disabled typists, but for us all!
Accessibility, Usability and User Centred Design (Usability workshop)
This document outlines instructions for a usability testing workshop. It instructs groups of 3 to 5 members to assess the usability of a web application by considering its purpose, content, navigation, and user inputs. The groups are asked to test a social networking, e-government, or e-learning website and provide a report with the website details, testing strategy, results, and recommendations. The report should also include a reflection on the assessment process. The document recommends using both performance and satisfaction metrics for a valid face-to-face or online usability test. It also provides resources for usability testing tools.
Why Usability Testing Should be Part of your Accessibility Testing Strategy
Why Usability Testing Should be Part of your Accessibility Testing StrategyUser Experience Center, Bentley University
This document discusses the benefits of conducting usability testing with people who have disabilities as part of an organization's accessibility testing strategy. Usability testing can help prioritize issues found in accessibility reviews by focusing on tasks that users need to complete. Issues discovered during usability testing include both accessibility problems and usability problems not directly related to accessibility. Involving people with disabilities in usability testing can provide insights not discovered through automated and manual accessibility testing alone. The document provides recommendations for effective usability testing approaches.Advanced Internet
The document discusses various aspects of usability testing and evaluation for websites, including definitions, methods, and best practices. Specifically, it describes heuristic evaluation, which involves examining a user interface against recognized usability principles and industry standards. Ten common usability heuristics are outlined, such as ensuring visibility of system status and having a clear match between the system and the real world. Evaluation criteria also cover areas like navigation, functionality, branding, documentation, and instructions.

- Authoring tools are software used to create and publish web content, like content management systems, blogging tools, and word processors.
- The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) provide standards for making authoring tools and their output accessible, but awareness of ATAG is low.
- For authoring tools and content to be accessible, tools must make it easy for all users, including non-experts and people with disabilities, to create accessible web content. Evaluation and selection of authoring tools should consider how well they support the creation of accessible content.
28 09-2011 user-centred development of sakai survey tool
1) The document describes a pilot project to test and improve the WebLearn Surveys tool at the University of Oxford.
2) Over 40 participants from various university roles tested the tool through workshops and feedback surveys.
3) Based on participant feedback, a number of bugs were fixed and new features were added to simplify public surveys and improve notification functions.
Usability Evaluation in Educational Technology
The document discusses different methods for evaluating the usability of educational technology. It defines usability as measuring the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of users completing tasks with a tool. There are three main methods: user-based involves testing users on tasks; expert-based uses experts to examine interfaces; and model-based applies models to predict usability based on task sequences. Each method has advantages like user-based providing realistic estimates, and disadvantages like expert-based being affected by expert variability. Choosing a method depends on needed information and the development stage being evaluated.

Master thesis presentation
This document presents a thesis proposal for testing the usability of Optima, a learning management system (LMS) developed by the Finnish company Discendum. Over 200 educational institutions currently use Optima, however it has not achieved widespread success compared to other major LMS platforms. The researcher aims to design and conduct usability tests on the Optima student interface to identify any usability issues. This will involve developing test plans, scenarios and tasks, collecting both qualitative and quantitative data from test participants, and analyzing the results to form recommendations for Optima developers. The goal is to understand how real users interact with Optima and determine if usability problems could be contributing to its slower adoption compared to systems like Moodle.

USEFul: A Framework to Mainstream Web Site Usability through Automated Evalua...
A paradox has been observed whereby web site usability is proven to be an essential element in a web site, yet at the same time there exist an abundance of web pages with poor usability. This discrepancy is the result of limitations that are currently preventing web developers in the commercial sector from producing usable web sites. In this paper we propose a framework whose objective is to alleviate this problem by automating certain aspects of the usability evaluation process. Mainstreaming comes as a result of automation, therefore enabling a non-expert in the field of usability to conduct the evaluation. This results in reducing the costs associated with such evaluation. Additionally, the framework allows the flexibility of adding, modifying or deleting guidelines without altering the code that references them since the guidelines and the code are two separate components. A comparison of the evaluation results carried out using the framework against published evaluations of web sites carried out by web site usability professionals reveals that the framework is able to automatically identify the majority of usability violations. Due to the consistency with which it evaluates, it identified additional guideline-related violations that were not identified by the human evaluators.

Distributed cognition is an approach that views cognition as extending beyond individuals to include interactions between people and tools or objects in their environment. It recognizes that cognitive processes involve interactions between internal and external representations. Analyzing a distributed cognitive system involves examining how information is propagated through communicative pathways between internal human representations and external artifacts. The DiCoT framework provides dimensions for analyzing physical layout, information flow, and artifacts to understand how a distributed system supports its goals.
IFI7159 M2
This document discusses several cognitive modeling theories relevant to human-computer interaction (HCI), including direct manipulation theory, Norman's theory of action involving gulfs of execution and evaluation, and the Keystroke-Level Model (KLM) and GOMS modeling approaches. It provides examples of how direct manipulation relates to engagement and distance between thoughts and system requirements. It also explains Norman's gulfs of execution and evaluation and provides examples. The document defines the basic operations in KLM like key presses and mouse movements. It describes how GOMS breaks tasks down into goals, operators, methods and selection rules. Finally, it provides an example GOMS model for deleting a file.

Concept mapping is a visual tool to organize and represent knowledge. It involves identifying key concepts and linking them with relationships. The document outlines steps for a group workshop activity where participants will collaboratively identify important contemporary research trends, map the relationships between concepts, and create a shared concept map. Groups will discuss their individual assignments, identify overlapping concepts, fill out a concept relationship matrix, and negotiate relationships. They will then use CMapTools software to build a concept map with the main concepts as the structure, adding other concepts and linking them with verbs to represent the system and its elements.

HCI has evolved over time from focusing on system components and tasks to considering socially embedded interactions. Early HCI emphasized usability and enabling human capabilities through technologies like graphical UIs [first sentence]. As computing expanded beyond workplaces, the field incorporated theories of context, activity, and culture to understand user experiences [second sentence]. Modern HCI focuses on designing with users through methods like prototyping and uses a range of qualitative research approaches to study technology use in natural settings [third sentence].
EstCHI
EstCHI was established in 2010 to promote human-computer interaction in Estonia. It brings together academics and professionals from both public and private sectors through bi-monthly meetings of 70+ people and an annual conference of 300+ attendees from Estonia and neighboring countries. In 2014, EstCHI and Cyprus SIGCHI started hosting annual HCI summer schools for 30+ doctoral students and practitioners, supported by SIGCHI. EstCHI's activities have helped develop HCI education and research in Estonia, including a master's program and growing number of doctoral students and projects applying HCI principles.
Welcome
This document provides an overview of interaction design. It discusses that interaction design involves shaping digital products for people's use by addressing instrumental, technical, and aesthetic aspects. It also explores possible futures and involves sketching and other representations. The document then summarizes several design paradigms: user-centered design focuses on user needs; activity-centered design focuses on tasks; systems-centered design focuses on system components; and creator-centered design relies on designer skill. It notes that combining all of these paradigms allows interaction design to realize its full potential. Finally, it lists some core courses in the HCI master's program that cover interaction design, user experience evaluation, developing interactive systems, and research methods.
Paper Prototype Evaluation
The document discusses methods for evaluating paper prototypes, including inspection methods like cognitive walkthroughs and heuristic evaluations, as well as testing methods like co-discovery and Wizard of Oz testing. It emphasizes evaluating concepts like usefulness, usability, and user experience. Inspection methods involve experts inspecting the prototype, while testing methods involve real users testing the prototype. An effective evaluation protocol uses a mix of methods and focuses on the prototype's supported tasks and affordances. The overall goal is formative evaluation to identify issues preventing users from achieving their goals.
Paper Prototyping
The document discusses different types of prototyping used in interaction design. It describes explorative prototyping which is used to explore system requirements with users, experimental prototyping which assesses if a planned system will be adequate, and evolutionary prototyping where a design evolves through multiple generations. Prototypes can be horizontal, covering many features with little functionality, or vertical with fewer features but more fully described. Prototypes are used to get feedback, explore requirements, and ground discussions. The prototyping process involves following design patterns, creating prototypes for user stories, and iterating the prototypes and stories.
Imke presentation-november-2012
The document describes two labs: IDLab and IMKE. IDLab focuses on designing for ubiquity, sustainability, and emotion. It also runs several projects and COST actions related to design, evaluation, and crowd-sourced information. IMKE is a masters program on interactive media and knowledge environments, focusing on interaction design, digital environments, and ecosystems. It offers courses in design, research methods, and developing interactive systems. Graduates can pursue careers in information architecture, interaction design, and user experience.
Metodologias e métodos de investigação
Este documento discute as principais metodologias de pesquisa científica, incluindo os paradigmas positivista e interpretativo. O positivista é predominantemente dedutivo e quantitativo, enquanto o interpretativo é indutivo, qualitativo e focado na compreensão profunda. Embora distintos, esses paradigmas nem sempre são mutuamente exclusivos e podem ser combinados. Exemplos de metodologias são experimentos, simulações, estudos de caso, etnografia e pesquisa-ação.
A Dissertação de Mestrado
Este documento fornece orientação sobre como realizar uma dissertação de mestrado, abordando tópicos como o que é esperado do estudante, o papel do supervisor, a importância da bibliografia e as etapas do processo de pesquisa científica.
Mobile Interactions
Mobile devices have become ubiquitous. Most people carry a mobile device like a phone or tablet nearly constantly and use them in various contexts to meet informational, geographical, and personal needs. When designing applications for mobile devices, developers must consider whether to build a native or web-based app, which device features it will use, how it will handle offline use, and how people will interact with it on touchscreens of varying sizes. Concepts for mobile apps can be developed and communicated through concept maps that show relationships between ideas like the app's purpose, target audience, and business model. An example concept presented is an iRadio app for finding favorite radio station frequencies on the go.
Introduction and Theoretical Foundations of New Media
This document outlines an introduction and theoretical foundations course on new media. The course aims to familiarize students with mainstream new media thought from multiple perspectives and situate their studies within the domain. Students will develop an understanding of interactive digital media, learn key theories and models, and develop a professional identity in the field. Assessment includes building a concept map, writing a 4-page essay citing sources, and commenting on peers' essays. Common course tools include blogs, concept mapping software, file sharing, and presentation sharing services.
Design issues and processes
The document discusses key concepts in new media design including design, interaction design, experience design, design strategy, development lifecycles, and methods/techniques. It describes design as a creative process that establishes qualities of objects and systems. Interaction design focuses on satisfying user needs and behaviors. Experience design addresses why people interact, what they can do, and how they act through objects. Design strategy determines visions and tactics for projects. Common lifecycles are the systematic SDLC and iterative Agile approach. Methods involve personas, scenarios, card sorting, and prototyping.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
