From Digital Divide to Digital Inclusion: Technology as an Equalizing Force-I...Idealware
The problem of the digital divide was first identified in the 1990s, when the majority of low-income households lacked any sort of computer access. Today, the explosive growth of mobile devices and wireless technology has reframed the conversation to one concerned with the quality of access provided, information literacy, and technological parity for young people. We'll examine the ways in which your nonprofit can leverage software and mobile technologies to address these challenges, with a special focus on advocating for digital inclusion for children with disabilities.
APM Webinar hosted by the Thames Valley Branch on 14 March 2024.
Speaker: Jade Matos Carew, Head of Digital, Accessibility and Usability, The Open University
What is digital accessibility? (Spoiler: it’s making sure we design and develop websites, systems, and digital content and experiences which are accessible by everyone – including disabled users.) This webinar was held on 14 March 2024.
We took a look at the principles behind it and why it’s vital (and often overlooked) in today’s organisations. We thought about how it can benefit staff, clients and customers, and how ensuring best practice in digital accessibility can act as a strong foundation to help to foster an inclusive and diverse organisational culture. We also considered the practical challenges which are faced when embedding best practice in digital accessibility into ways of working, and how applying change management principles can provide an effective toolkit for approaching and assisting with this.
The Equality Act (2010) broadly protects certain characteristics, including the rights of disabled people so that everyone can have equal access to participate in society. This includes online and digital spaces, and it’s therefore vital to make sure that our organisations, services, digital content, and ways of working are set up in the right way to accommodate the needs of a diverse audience so that everyone can feel included and engaged. This includes considering best practice in a wide range of contexts – from the documents you make and use, the websites you build, the development cycles you follow, to the IT solutions you procure, and the online meetings you host. Good digital accessibility is more than just meeting our legal obligations, it’s the right thing to do. Without an inclusive approach, you could be at risk of excluding people, whether that’s team members, or potential customers.
There are principles, standards, and best practice which we need to follow, and these can often take a certain amount of time, effort, and expertise to interpret, but you don’t have to be an expert to get to grips with the basics. The journey to becoming more accessible is exactly, that – a journey rather than a quick fix. There are ways in which you can embed good digital accessibility into ways of working sustainably and effectively by following small steps to ensure the change management process is as smooth as possible.

UXPA2019 Enhancing the User Experience for People with Disabilities: Top 10 ...UXPA International
An estimated 1.3 billion people globally report limitations in their daily activities due to a disability. When it comes to the physical world, businesses have made progress in accommodating customers with disabilities. But in the digital world, websites lack basic accessibility features such as text alternatives describing images, proper heading level structures so individuals who are blind and use screen readers can understand the content on a webpage, or captioning for multimedia content for individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing – let alone assistive technology for customers who have trouble using mobile devices due to dexterity limitations that arise from a variety of conditions.
In this session, attendees will:
* Understand people with disabilities (PWDs) and how they use the web
* Learn about common barriers, issues and solutions
* Discover the different testing methodologies and their interdependencies
* Uncover ROI

Don't Panic! How to perform an accessibility evaluation with limited resourcesMichael Ryan
Being tasked with an accessibility evaluation is can be daunting. How can you measure accessibility? What disabilities are the most important? What tools do you need? How long will it take? Where do I start? What does "accessible" even mean?
These are all questions I asked myself last year when I performed my first accessibility eval. This session will share everything I learned since then in performing three accessibility evaluations.
This document discusses International Day of Disabled People (IDDP) and how technology can promote inclusion and accessibility. It highlights that over 1 billion people live with some form of disability. This year's IDDP theme is "The Promise of Technology" and how technology can help disabled people fulfill their potential at work. The document also describes services from Remploy like iRemploy, which provides online career support and tools, and how adaptive technology can help in the workplace.
The what, why, and how of accessibility3Play Media
In this webinar, Larry Lewis, Director of Channel Sales and Strategic Partnerships at TPG, will explain “what” digital accessibility encompasses, the benefits and importance of embracing accessibility best practices, and how best to achieve a conformant result using finite resources. Participants will learn how digital accessibility is defined and how it impacts digital content developed for desktop, mobile, and kiosk platforms. In addition, they will learn three key reasons “why” digital accessibility should matter to a business, and “how” a variety of tools and services can help you achieve and maintain an acceptable, accessible framework for your digital content within a reasonable time frame, helping your company to avoid potential business risks.
This document discusses accessibility and the importance of considering people with disabilities in web design. It covers the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), which aims to make Ontario accessible by 2025. It also discusses the four principles of accessibility: perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

Disability, Emerging Tech & Inclusive Design at the CrossroadsUniversity of Sydney
This document summarizes a talk on disability, emerging technology, and inclusive design. It notes that while progress has been made in inclusive design and understanding disability requirements, more still needs to be done. It discusses key issues like digital inequality experienced by disabled people during the pandemic. Contemporary inclusive design work is highlighted, but challenges remain like slow adoption of participatory design and suboptimal policy frameworks. Case studies from Singapore examine issues like mobile phone accessibility and plans for driverless cars and disability mobility.
Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Head of Audience Experience & Usability) and Robin Christopherson (Head of Accessibility Services, AbilityNet) at Internet 2010, London in 2010.
Covers: how many people in the UK are still unconnected from the internet, and how 25% fewer disabled people are using the internet than the general population; what the reasons for this lag in usage by disabled people might be (and definitely are not); how use of assistive technologies in the UK is much lower than the expected percentages (from Microsoft Forrester research in 2003); how My Web My Way (bbc.co.uk/accessibility) provides information on assistive technologies and browser/OS accessibility settings to help disabled people; how website personalisation technologies can help all users (no matter how contradictory their needs) get a better user-experience; how the BBC ATK is aiming to provide these features on bbc.co.uk
The digital divide refers to the gap between people who have access to the internet and the skills to use technology. There are two main aspects - access to computers and related technologies, and technological literacy. Examples of the digital divide include differences in infrastructure between urban and rural areas, cost of internet access, blocking of internet services, and differences in education and access to computer science classes. Barriers to crossing the digital divide include lack of locally and culturally relevant online content, as well as issues of poverty, poor infrastructure, and lack of digital literacy and hardware support in developing countries. Potential solutions involve government policy, non-profit programs to increase digital literacy, and use of new technologies like mobile computing and social media.
This document provides an overview of a web accessibility workshop held on March 3rd, 2016. The workshop covered several topics related to web accessibility including target user groups, empathy exercises using the web with limited abilities, frameworks for accessible web design, and preparing for WCAG 2.0 testing. The workshop was led by Vladimir Tomberg, PhD from Tallinn University. Participants were provided login credentials to use the Mac lab and instructions for completing in-class and home assignments. Today's workshop sessions included discussions of target user groups who benefit from accessible design, an empathy exercise using the web with limited abilities, an introduction to the principles of accessible web design, and an overview of WCAG 2.0 guidelines for web content accessibility testing

The document discusses digital integrity from interviews with two students - Bhavya Sethi and Karan Ahuja. Bhavya discusses the importance of digital integrity for allowing data synchronization across devices using standard formats. Karan discusses how digital integrity enables event planning and notifications. Both emphasize how digital integration facilitates coordination and information sharing.
This document discusses the impact of technology on education. It describes how the Information Age has led to learning becoming a shared responsibility between teachers and students, with teachers taking on more of a facilitator role. Technology provides greater access to educational programs and interactive learning opportunities. It also discusses trends like the establishment of standards and the development of new fields like consumer informatics. The document outlines various technologies used in education like the World Wide Web, e-mail, discussion groups, and distance education, noting both advantages and disadvantages. It also addresses issues like the digital divide and promoting inclusion for those with disabilities.
1. The document proposes a mobile game application called Heritage GameMobile to help educate youth about cultural heritage by making it an engaging and fun learning experience.
2. The application aims to address issues like lack of knowledge about heritage value and poor awareness of cultural importance among youth aged 12 to 25, who are seen as key to achieving 2030 sustainable development goals.
3. The document outlines the philosophy, problem identification, idea selection process, business model, sample app features, and distribution analysis for the Heritage GameMobile application concept.
This document discusses pragmatic accessibility and encourages making websites accessible. It defines pragmatic accessibility as continuous improvement rather than perfection. Many groups benefit from accessibility including the blind, deaf, color blind, those with mobility or cognitive impairments, as well as users on mobile devices or in certain environments. Accessibility benefits rural users who have less access to high-speed internet. The document advocates for empathy and understanding how people access information. It provides overviews of what content creators, designers, programmers and decision makers need to know to improve accessibility and engagement. Resources for learning more about accessibility techniques and testing are also shared.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions.

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
