Institutional Change - Emerge ALT-C09
The document discusses the use of next generation technologies and community development processes to build sustainable communities of practice for educational technology development projects. It notes that developing projects with an awareness of the wider field through social networking can improve project quality and benefits. The Emerge Project used Web 2.0 technologies and an Appreciative Inquiry approach to intentionally create positive change through a user-centered research-led community network. Sustainable communities require a balance between individual autonomy and institutional control.
BCELC - Exploring Technology in Education
This document discusses how technology is changing learning environments and the challenges that come with it. It notes that technology empowers students and is an ubiquitous part of their lives used for communication and socializing. However, there is a growing need for new skills like information, visual, and technological literacy as educational practices change more slowly than students. While incorporating real-life experiences into learning is important, it is not occurring enough and not fully valued. There is recognition that technologies must be adopted as part of classroom activities, but implementing change can be difficult.
Role of Emerging Technologies in keeping the Library current
The document discusses the role of emerging technologies in helping academic libraries stay relevant to their campus communities. It argues that libraries must adopt emerging technologies to remain heard and competitive amid increased noise and competition. Some key points are that libraries should make value-added services known through social media and search engine optimization; focus on being user-centered, collaborative, intuitive and mobile; and get to know student and faculty needs by meeting them where they are online through technologies like social networks.
Innovation
This document discusses Everett Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory and its application to getting teachers to adopt new technologies. It addresses how to train teachers through various models and motivates them by discussing the innovation decision process and adopter categories. It also covers considerations for compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, trialability, and observability of new technologies from the perspective of teachers.

Accessibility and inclusive design
This document discusses web accessibility and inclusive design. It defines key concepts like accessibility, perceivable, operable, understandable and robust. It notes that accessibility benefits everyone and improves design. The document provides tips on incorporating accessibility into the design process from the start. It shares examples of how making a website accessible increased traffic, conversions and earnings. Resources are included to help get started with accessibility.
Accessibility Is Usability
This document discusses accessibility and usability in web design. It defines accessibility as designing digital interfaces that allow users with disabilities to use and add content, while usability refers to how easily users can achieve their goals. The document notes that accessibility is important for good practice, compliance with laws like Section 508, and to accommodate people who use assistive technologies like screen readers. It then reviews several usability heuristics and provides examples of how to apply them to make websites more accessible, such as using plain language, meaningful links, consistent standards, and allowing flexibility. It also recommends tools for checking accessibility.
Joining Accessibility and UX for Accessible UX
The document discusses the importance of combining accessibility and user experience (UX) to create accessible UX. It notes that over 8 million people in the US have difficulty seeing and believes that successful digital engagement is important for individuals and society. However, relying on digital technologies without considering accessibility could worsen social and economic exclusion. The document recognizes that many factors influence accessibility needs and that capabilities and preferences are unique. It commits to building a culture of accessibility, engaging people with disabilities, and continuously improving knowledge and practice of accessible UX.

The Potential of Adaptive Interfaces as an Accessibility Aid for Older Web Users
The document discusses the potential for adaptive interfaces to help address barriers older users face on the web due to age-related declines in capabilities like vision, hearing, and cognition. It outlines a project called SuS-IT that aims to develop an accessibility adaptation framework to detect changes in users' capabilities and apply appropriate interface adaptations. Early user engagement found that older adults were open to adaptations but wary of how personal capability data could be shared or impact perceptions of their abilities. Ongoing challenges include accurately detecting capability changes and applying adaptations, as well as ensuring user acceptance through unobtrusive monitoring and responsible data handling.
The overlap between Web Accessibility and Web Usability for Older people
Discussion of the similarities and differences between designing for Web Accessibility and supporting Web Usability for Older people. It was presented at an event on technology and older people hosted by Autelic at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, October 29-30 2009.
tech 1.pptx
Technology can play an important role in supporting independence for older adults as the population ages. The document discusses 6 key domains where technology could help: communication, employment, learning, health, living environments, and transportation. Within each domain, several innovative technologies are described that could enhance independence and quality of life for seniors, such as smartphones, telehealth, online learning, smart home devices, and transportation apps. Potential barriers to technology adoption by older adults like physical/cognitive limitations, costs, and lack of training are also outlined.
Nemchinova cognitive disabilities
The document discusses designing user experiences for people with cognitive disabilities. It notes that 7% of the US population has some type of cognitive impairment. It outlines common types of cognitive disabilities like learning disabilities, attention disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and those related to aging. The document discusses challenges people with cognitive disabilities face when using technology, like difficulty finding features, recovering from errors, saving work. It also reviews the state of accessibility research, which has focused less on cognitive disabilities. The document proposes approaches like universal design, assistive technologies, and usability testing to help make technologies more accessible and usable for those with cognitive impairments.
Designing for People with Cognitive Disabilities in Language and Literacy
UXPA 2013 Annual Conference Wednesday July 10, 2013 11:00am - 12:00pm ET by Yulia Nemchinova
The importance of accommodating visually impaired Web users is now widely recognized - yet cognitively impaired users are still largely left behind. Cognitive disabilities include conditions such as learning and language disabilities, attention disorders, traumatic brain injury, mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, cognitive issues related to aging and more. The broad spectrum of cognitive issues and lack of user research and evaluation pose immense and important challenges to us as UX practitioners. This presentation addresses design for this diverse user group, with a special focus on language and literacy disabilities fairly common in both adults and kids.

Conole Salerno
The document discusses bridging the gap between e-learning policy and practice. It reviews the history of e-learning and identifies tensions between new technologies, pedagogies, and institutional structures. Emerging themes around personalization, social learning, and open educational resources are discussed. Case studies are presented mapping how drivers like funding, research, and user adoption impact the relationship between policy, practice, and learner experience. Questions are raised about how policy can better support new forms of teaching and learning and address digital divides in a changing technological landscape.
Accessibility Issues
The document discusses accessibility issues and proposes new definitions and approaches. It notes that inaccessibility is not about disabilities but a mismatch between user needs and content. It proposes universal user-centered accessibility where resources are tested based on how they meet user needs and preferences, with users having control over choices. Metadata would describe content in terms of meeting needs and priorities are given to user choice and inclusivity. Tools that validate and evaluate accessibility based on guidelines producing metadata could help make authoring and content more accessible.
