Checking Our Footing: 16 Modern Accessibility Myths DebunkedJonathan Hassell
Many of the things accessibility advocates believe are out of date. Yes, the web industry has loads of myths about accessibility which we constantly need to battle. But some of the understanding of accessibility advocates is equally flawed.
In this talk to a11yLDN 2012 I challenge some of the accepted assumptions many of us hold that I believe are really not serving us, or the disabled and elderly people we are trying to help, well at all. In their place I detail some more researched, more effective findings from which to continue to grow our influence in the web community.

This document provides advice for working with developers. It recommends learning common development jargon, getting good at project estimation by partnering with an experienced manager, understanding cloud computing and Software as a Service models, and different development paradigms like agile development. Local developers are valuable because they understand local needs and can tailor remote services. The document advocates using local talent like students and treating developers as people with career paths.
Recent experiences have demonstrated that University staff and students expect to use online resources with a variety of devices, making full use of accessibility features such as reflow, captions, and text-to-speech.
Such features benefit everyone, but especially the increasing proportion of university students who self-report a disability.
University Information Technology departments know they must commit to accessibility; indeed, they have a legal obligation to do so, but how can they take this ambition and embed accessibility within their policies and processes?
In this presentation, we will share:
approaches to building a digital accessibility policy for university IT departments.
techniques for embedding accessibility within IT development processes by ‘shifting left’.
examples from within the Higher Education and wider IT sectors.

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility to focus on strategic inclusion and business benefits rather than risk mitigation. It advocates using the BS 8878 framework to embed accessibility into organizational processes and make all staff responsible. The framework addresses common challenges like costs, measurement, innovation constraints, and defines roles and responsibilities. It argues for choosing the right guidelines and building better websites through an inclusive design approach.

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility and presents BS 8878 as a solution. It notes that most organizations see accessibility as a risk and burden without understanding benefits. BS 8878 aims to embed accessibility systematically into processes rather than one-off projects. It provides a framework to reduce costs and improve quality of accessible products. The standard was created by accessibility experts and reviewed worldwide. Adopting BS 8878 helps build better, more inclusive products rather than just compliance.

Karimunjawa consists of many small islands off the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia. The two main islands are Karimunjawa Island and Kemujan Island. Karimunjawa was originally settled by Sunan Nyamplungan, one of the Muslim Saints who introduced Islam to Java. The landscape includes hilly areas on Karimunjawa Island with beaches and fringing reefs around both main islands. Boats and planes provide transportation between the islands and to and from the mainland.
Learning involves relatively permanent changes in behavior or knowledge that result from experience. There are several theories of learning, including classical conditioning where a stimulus produces an associated response, operant conditioning where behaviors are reinforced or punished to increase or decrease future occurrences, and social learning where observation of others influences our own behaviors. Learning principles like reinforcement, shaping behavior through successive steps, and different schedules of intermittent reinforcement can be used to modify behaviors.

The Myers-Briggs personality test assesses individuals on four scales: extraversion vs introversion, sensing vs intuition, thinking vs feeling, and judging vs perceiving. The test was developed in the 1940s based on Carl Jung's work and categorizes individuals into 16 personality types based on their preferences. Managers can use the Myers-Briggs test to understand employees' personalities and place individuals into teams in a way that maximizes productivity and harmony in the workplace.
This document describes 9 personality types based on visual preferences in a personality test. It provides a brief history of how the test was developed over several years through worldwide testing and feedback. It then describes each of the 9 personality types in 1-3 sentences, focusing on key traits for each type such as being independent, dynamic, down to earth, professional, peaceful, carefree, romantic, analytical, and introspective.
The document summarizes the key findings of a survey on performance management systems:
1) Performance management systems are evolving from a focus on performance appraisals to prioritizing employee development, though this transition is incomplete. Stronger executive support and greater employee participation in development is still needed.
2) Respondents rated employee-focused objectives like development, feedback, and career planning as higher priorities than manager-focused objectives.
3) Respondents were generally satisfied with performance appraisals but dissatisfied with opportunities for development, training, and career planning. More support is needed to fully develop performance management systems into tools for attracting and retaining talent.

Social networks and social media analysis in the context of the enterpriseRamez Al-Fayez
Social networks and social media have become important tools for enterprises to interact with employees and customers. Enterprises should build internal social networks to facilitate collaboration between employees. They should also focus on external social networks where customers engage in order to understand them better and market products. Analyzing social media can provide insights into customer behavior, market trends, and hiring opportunities. Setting up an enterprise social network requires defining goals, policies, and measuring success through key performance indicators. It is important to understand business benefits and provide training and support for adoption.

uTest CMO Matt Johnston Presents "Online Communities: Changing the Way Work ...uTest
Anyone can build a loosely affiliated, unstructured crowd - a mob. The key to successfully employing a crowdsourcing model in a b2b/professional services type space is to advance beyond the realm of a ‘mob’ to create an engaged, interactive community of diverse and skilled professionals. With the help of reputation and compensation systems, community recruitment and engagement, public profiles and social media, crowdsourcing has the potential to take the services industry to new heights.
Using real-world examples, Johnston will dispel the most common myths about crowdsourcing; explain why it doesn’t mean the end to in-house staffs; and reveal why it is NOT just another marketing buzz word.

Being a digital communication superstarRon McFarland
Technology is coming so fast at us that large and small businesses can no longer ignore it. I was reseaching this some time back and came up with three major reasons for having a proactive digital investment plan. Namely (1) to improve customer interaction and experience, (2) to improve company internal processes and (3) to penetrate or completely create new markets. Also, I grouped this digital technology into four main groupings: 1-Data & analytics utilization, 2-Social media utilization, 3-Mobile device & tele-conferencing utilization and 4-Embedded devices (IOT). Just so I can fully understand how this can be introduced into companies without too much resistance, I prepared this presentation. Here in Japan for smaller companies this implementation is a major problem. Therefore, I hope to present it in Japanese. I hope you find it helpful too.
Social media presents both opportunities and risks for companies. It allows new ways to interact with stakeholders through marketing and recruitment. However, it also risks sensitive information leaks and legal/IP issues. In-house counsel should understand new technologies and provide early legal advice to address reputational, security and compliance risks. Companies need social media policies and employee training to mitigate risks while leveraging opportunities.

Adoption of online videos in organizationsChristian Ruf
The document discusses factors that drive organizations' adoption of online videos. It presents four case studies of organizations in different industries. The results show that environmental characteristics, like monitoring trends, and top-management characteristics, like support from leadership, are key drivers of adopting online videos. Organizational characteristics and innovation characteristics were less important across the cases. The discussion frames the findings in the context of organizations getting ready to adopt new technologies in 2012 and focusing on generating value from IT investments in 2013.
Thank you to those of you who attended the Global Marcoms Webinar on April 8th hosted by Jobs4AllNow, Using Social Networking to Launch and Enhance Your Career . Here are the slides used during the Webinar.
Social media is transforming how companies engage with employees and candidates. It allows constant connection through platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Companies are using social media for recruiting, onboarding, learning and development, and internal engagement. This allows sharing of knowledge, recognition of top performers, and creating a sense of community. HR must help organizations embrace these new tools and ways of working to engage talent in the digital age.
Dennis Bosse gave a presentation to web developers about using social media platforms effectively. He emphasized that social media sites are not free, as maintaining a presence requires significant time and money. While social media can help drive traffic, web developers should focus on building their own website and using social platforms to direct traffic back to the site, which they fully own and control. The terms of service of social media sites are subject to change at any time, potentially restricting how developers can use content and interact with customers. Developers were encouraged to invest in building their own brand rather than relying solely on social media platforms owned by outside companies.
The document summarizes a presentation on leveraging social media in legal practice. It discusses four main reasons to incorporate social media: client development, professional responsibility to educate the public, reputation management, and professional development. It provides tips on how to use social media for client development, how to comply with professional responsibility rules, how to manage one's online reputation, and how social media can aid professional development. The presentation concludes by taking questions from the audience.
II-SDV 2014 The Digital Workplace – The death of desktop search? (Martin Whit...Dr. Haxel Consult
This document discusses the current state of enterprise search and areas for improvement. It finds that while 23% of organizations have enterprise-wide search capabilities, many others have only just begun planning or have no plans. User satisfaction with search has remained moderate over time due to low content quality and uncertainty around what is searched. The document calls for better management of information as an enterprise asset and support for collaborative search and information seeking to help teams work together more effectively.
This document discusses how law firms can harness the power of social media. It notes that clients, other law firms, and in-house counsel are increasingly using social media.

It provides examples of social media strategies law firms can use to become recognized authorities in their fields within 90 days.
The document summarizes a data protection conference that took place on March 1st, 2012 in London. It includes an overview of several presentations given at the conference on topics related to upcoming changes to European data protection laws and their implications. Key points from some of the presentations include clarifying what types of technologies the new laws will cover, guidance provided from legal and regulatory perspectives, how prepared UK companies are for the changes, and potential impacts, such as many free internet services may no longer be free or possible without the use of behavioral advertising. The conference aimed to help organizations understand and prepare for the new requirements around data protection and user consent that would take effect in May 2012.
The document discusses trends in the job market and provides tips for finding employment. It notes that the job market is improving with more jobs being added in 2015 than previous years. In-demand fields include information technology, healthcare, and STEM jobs. Networking, keeping skills updated, and working with recruiters are advised for finding positions.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

HR has already been deeply involved in leveraging technologies like the Internet to automate many of the transactional tasks assigned to HR. Employees find benefits information, job postings and employee handbooks on company web sites. Time-saving functions like payroll automation and e-reporting technologies have also reduced the time dedicated to processing tasks and has given HR more time to devote to strategic planning and decision making.
One of the ways HR professionals can demonstrate their ability to contribute to their organization’s strategic goals is by the insight they can supply regarding employees and trends affecting these employees. These recommendations require close attention to current trends, innovative ideas and legal developments. Of course, monitoring is only half of the process; HR is then responsible for making sure that the proper constituents are informed of the information gathered.
HR is also responsible for encouraging communication and collaboration among employees. The physical dispersion of employees is increasing as businesses expand their global reach and continue to embrace flexible employee arrangements. Coordination and communication with these employees requires additional effort and planning. HR should eagerly adopt any technology that can bridge connections across these distances.
The technologies we focus on in this unit are called Web 2.0. This term was coined in 2004 to indicate a group of web-based technologies characterized by interactivity. These technologies are focused on building connections through the ability to interact and encourage collaboration and community. Thomas Friedman wrote in The World is Flat that these programs are “flatteners,” which make connections possible across the world. He quotes Carly Fiorina of Hewlett Packard who described information as “digital, mobile, personal and virtual.” Digitization makes the information easy to transmit. This information can be manipulated through many applications where people capture and manipulate data without thinking about the technology.
The commonly agreed-on group of Web 2.0 technologies is listed on this slide. We will introduce them briefly here but will frequently return to them throughout this module.
Common examples of social networks include Facebook and MySpace. Additional sites such as LinkedIn have a more professional focus. On these sites people have a page that allows them to have a personal profile. This allows for connections with others on the site.
Video sharing sites allow users to upload video they have created and provide access to others. Youtube and Googlevideo are the most popular sites that offer video sharing, but there are many others that provide this service.
Blogs are short for web logs. The writer, or blogger, provides information in a journalistic format and allows access to read the blog to a select few or all Internet users.
Wikipedia, the online user-created and modified encyclopedia, is the most popular example of a wiki. Wikis are web pages with multiple contributors, all able to add and modify content.
IMs, or instant messaging, started by enabling contact among computer users. Now the technology has gone mobile and includes the ability to send messages to mobile devices. Services such as Twitter combine this into a what is being called microblogging. Updates or information can be provided to a wide number of contacts rather than being confined to a one-on-one process.
Other developments in collaborating technologies are coming online continually. What technologies would you add to this list? (Students may include additional services such as Skype, which provides phone abilities over the Internet. They may also provide names of types of these technologies that have increased in popularity. There is a dynamic nature to technology, which makes listing all the variants impossible.)
With changes in technology, many people are already at work on Web 3.0 technologies.
Once information is gathered HR is responsible for disseminating it to key constituents throughout the organization.
Traditionally, this information was distributed through changes to the employee handbook, notes on the bulletin board, newsletters, memos and more recently email. All of these are examples of one-way communication not easily modified after issue. While many companies have replaced the printed employee handbook with a pdf file, this is still a static document that requires downloading to review current changes.
Web 2.0 provides more dynamic ways to disseminate information. Virtual documents and networks can be modified in real time, and the documents can include video and hyperlinks to other information. The formation of these documents is much easier also and does not require knowledge of programming.
Let’s consider the employee newsletter. When this is sent out either as a hardcopy form or as an attachment to an email, it requires multiple actions on the part of employees simply to update calendar information. The Wiki newsletter could include links to the calendar, as well as other personal touches—for instance-- birthday announcements that are hyperlinked to an email address so a quick note can be sent off to the birthday person.
Social networks provide options for forming groups who need to be aware of immediate changes or approve necessary legal updates.
Blogs can focus on information important to employees and be a way to answer questions employees have.
Communicating with employees is one of the key roles of HR and these applications provide options to increase not just the amount of communication but the quality of correspondence as well.
In addition to providing a source of information and a method of communicating information, Web 2.0 tools are helpful for collaboration. This is especially useful when dealing with employees in dispersed physical locations, whether that be across town or across the globe.
Some examples of these tool include Microsoft Sharepoint, Googledocs and Wikis.
Microsoft Sharepoint provides the ability for an organization’s intranet to support web-based applications. The intranet aspect means that the user group can be restricted to organization employees. Some companies appreciate the added security of access being strictly limited and under IT control. Once the service is set up, users can create sites and documents on which they can collaborate with other employees. Companies often use Sharepoint for document coordination, and yet some departments may not be aware of the availability. An HR manager is in great position to discuss with IT the option of using Sharepoint.
Smaller companies can use other web-based free or low-cost services. Google provides Googledocs for this purpose.
The Googledocs web site provides a video explaining how it works. Play this for the students.
Googledocs is not the only free web-based service. Other options include wikis. PB wiki is one of many sites that can be used to create your own wiki.
The goal of recruiting is to increase the pool of qualified applicants for open positions. Recruiters have always relied on leads gathered from employees as ways to make connections with possible candidates. Recruiters have also focused on making an impact in areas where people are actively searching for jobs, so job sites and college campuses are good sources of potential leads.
In his web cast, The Best Practices in Online Recruiting: How to Maximize Your ROI* (*Your Return on the Internet), which can be viewed on the SHRM web site, Peter Weddle talks about the different approaches needed depending on the type of applicant. Active applicants are searching for jobs, and the recruiter needs to present a favorable image to attract their attention. However, often the best people for the job are not actively searching for a new position. These are passive applicants, and a recruiter needs to actually seek out these applicants. Web technologies like search engines and social networking sites provide information about people who may fit the job opening.
Let’s talk first about resources used by the active applicants and what we can do to attract these people. Job search sites are some of the most popular tools. If you have ever posted your resume online, you’ll know that sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com provide access to a large pool of candidates. Additionally these sites provide a way to coordinate information collection. These work well for standardized jobs, especially when there is a large number of applicants with appropriate skills.
Most students will be familiar with Internet job searches. However, for those who haven’t looked at these sites, it is probably worthwhile for the instructor to spend a few minutes on either Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com.
Employers also maintain collection sites connected the organization’s homepage. These sites provide information to applicants who already are attracted to the organization. Organizations are able to distribute extra information about the job and paint a realistic picture of the organization. These sites are currently being improved to include Web 2.0 technologies. These days, it is common for sites to include videos or blogs written by employees who discuss the organization and opportunities provided. These sites always help establish the organization’s reputation.
Visit one or more of the web sites listed, or if there are companies that commonly recruit from your university, you may want to substitute those companies.
This should demonstrate to the students the seriousness with which companies attempt to recruit the best candidates.
Generation Y has expectations about connectivity and wants to work for organizations that will support, allow and encourage. Videos that demonstrate a workplace community will appeal to Gen Y employees. Videos also allow an organization to visually demonstrate a commitment to both diversity and the types of employees working for the organization. To the extent that this is a realistic preview, it should attract people that value the ideals promoted in the video.
To incorporate video in the recruiting process, HR should take the time to work across the organization. The IT department can provide information, support and help indicate where the video should be posted. For example, YouTube may be one option, but IT may have alternate recommendations with further reach.
Including employees in the video production can also be important. Use departments with appropriate expertise, or create a video design contest so individual employees can express their experience with the organization in their own words. Not only will this add to the reality and believability of the promotion, it will also create positive feelings in the workplace by demonstrating the value your organization has for the ideas of its employees.
Outsourcing is also an option. There are many companies that can help produce the video with a more professional and polished appeal.
Recruiting passive applicants is a bit more challenging, and as a result, many expert recruiters consider social networking sites to be rich sources of information about potential applicants.
A 2008 SHRM survey of HR professionals with recruiting responsibilities reported that 43 percent had used social networking sites, though only 13 percent used them frequently or often. Sixty-nine percent of respondents said they used these sites to search for passive applicants. Many who don’t use these sites are limited by HR to perform searches.
The following statistics are from a SHRM online article by Wright (2009).
Facebook has 140 million users and LinkedIn had 28 million as of January, 2009. While LinkedIn had previously been seen as the place for business connections, Facebook is taking over as the social networking site recruiters use. The article also quotes an O’Reilly Media study that states that 35- to-44 year-olds are the fastest growing area of users, followed by 45- to-57 year-olds. (Wright, 2009).
Once we have recruited a group of candidates, selection is the next step in the process. Again, the Internet and social networking sites provide us with access to an extensive amount of information. Of course, employers are not the only group using these technologies for job searches. Today, some applicants actually use these technologies to reach employers. This CBS report demonstrates the role video resumes play in the modern job search arena (Instructor’s note: play video).
Social networking sites can be used as screening tools because of the amount of information provided. Earlier, we talked about the potential of using social networking sites to attract passive applicants. However there are additional cautions if these technologies are used for selection. Some of the reasons are listed on this slide.
Participants in a SHRM survey on recruiting and social networking sites felt that learning information from these sites would affect the decisions they made. The highest percentage believed that finding contradictory information would make them less likely to hire the applicant. Conversely, involvement in volunteer activities or professional societies was more likely to positively influence decisions. Most respondents had no policy about the use of social networking sites for screening (Bates, 2008).
One of the reasons HR professionals are hesitant to use these sites is because of the potential to discover information that is not job-related. During the application process, employers want to only collect information that relates to the job; this protects us against discrimination charges. Social network sites are rich areas of a variety of information, and therefore a visit to this site is likely to introduce non-job-related information. Employers will be watching for legal challenges related to these activities, and HR professionals need to monitor developments in these areas. The type of job will influence how important it is to check the type of information that can be gathered from these sites.
Brandel (2008) provides a list of reasons why employees want to use social networking sites. These seem to be reasons that would also help productivity. Social connections increase commitment to an organization and may help retention. Providing a way for employees to share information about work processes that are successful has been the goal of many information technology systems.
Companies are establishing these type of sites for employees. These networks are set up behind the company firewall. Here are the names given to a few of these employee networks.
Examples: Microsoft – Townsquare; Deloitte – D Street; IBM – Beehive; Best Buy – BlueShirt Nation (Brandel, 2008).
There are some differences reported with these employee-only networks. Researchers on the IBM Beehive site find that employees use it for connections with existing friends but also reach out more to people they don’t know than happens on other sites like Facebook. Career advancement and building support for ideas and positions were additional reasons that people made connections on Beehive. Employees proactively used the sites for career advancement (DiMicco, Millen, Geyer & Dugan, 2008).
Brandel (2008) reports that Deloitte found the following benefits from D Street: flexible work arrangement, virtual teams, new employee orientation, increased collaboration and retention.
When organizations consider designing policies for Web 2.0 use they do not have to start from scratch. The SHRM site we visited earlier provides examples of policies organizations can use as a starting point. In their white paper on blogging policies, Kaupins, Burwell and Spitzer (2007) outline some areas of consideration that can be applied to other Web 2.0 technologies.
Issues that should be considered when designing these policies include the following:
Purpose: A clear purpose for use should be outlined.
Monitoring: These technologies will require monitoring on the part of the organization. Organizations need to decide how that monitoring will take place and who will be in charge. Once the monitoring procedures are in place, employees should be informed of monitoring procedures.
Behavior: Specific behaviors both allowed and not allowed should be clarified.
Other policies: These policies should be coordinated with other computer and Internet use policies.
Ethical constraints: Policies and procedures will have to deal with allowing personal freedom but preventing issues that could bring about legal repercussions.
Some possible problems that these technologies could expose organizations to are harassment, privacy, copyright issues, libel lawsuits or trade disparagement.
