This slide show presents an early version of an accessible internet design project that uses augmentation and mixed modalities to help aging readers dealing with vision and/or hearing loss revisit the joy of reading. The goal is to create experiences for people who love to read but face physiological barriers that make the written word less accessible and enjoyable.
Niche or Platform - what next for our institutions online?Mike Ellis
This presentation looks at the ideas behind institutions delivering a "trusted platform" rather than niche silos. It suggests that "platforms" in this context are places where communities are enabled, supported and encouraged and goes on to consider ten big ideas which often accompany platform-like approaches.
(short) presentation I gave at DIBI Conference on April 28 in Newcastle, UK. It's a bunch of "How?" and "Why?"'s on how to prepare for the next 10 years as a designer.
Digital Distractions & Digital Overload: Maybe Nicholas Carr was right!Cherie Dargan
This is a presentation for my Supper Club, using material from the Shallows, infographics about digital distraction, and observations from the classroom.
The ppt presentation by Cathy Oxley to the Ipswich Library & Information Service in October 2008 on web 2.0 tools suitable for teachers to engage the 12-17 years cohort.

All You Really Need to Know About Users You Learned in High SchoolEva Willis
User research? A fad!
Personas? Like I don't know enough real people and have to make some up.
Usability? Hey, if that shopping cart was good enough for Amazon, I'm sure it'll work just fine for us.
Not everything requires user testing, okay? We learned plenty long before we read any of those fancy books or paid for conferences just to have late-night drunken conversations about taxonomies.In this presentation, we will revisit key lessons we learned back in the halcyon days of our early lives and trace the shocking relevance of what we already know to the 21st century's biggest user experience challenges.
This presentation has been designed as part of the www.screenlessweek.co.uk resource and gives teachers a set of slides to use with pupils (aged 12 years +) to look at the issues of excessive screeen use.
Creating a Healthy Digital Culture: How empathy can change our organizationsDomain7
We often think of empathy as an abstract, emotional concept, maybe even see it as a weakness in an organizational context. This presentations suggests that empathy might be our greatest secret weapon to changing our organizations to become higher-performing, more innovative, better places to work, serving happier customers.

In the next ten years, every knowledge worker on earth will become one of two things: invaluable or obsolete. No matter the industry, the pace of progress and new information is faster today than ever before in human history—and it’s accelerating exponentially.
In this new reality, how can we possibly hope to keep up? How can we learn, unlearn, and relearn fast enough to stay relevant in the world to come?
In The Only Skill That Matters, Jonathan Levi unveils a powerful, neuroscience-based approach to reading faster, remembering more, and learning more effectively. You’ll master the ancient techniques being used by world record holders and competitive memory athletes to unlock the incredible capacity of the human brain. You’ll learn to double or triple your reading speed, enhance your focus, and optimize your cognitive performance. Most importantly, you’ll be empowered to confidently approach any subject—from technical skills, to names and faces, to foreign languages, and even speeches—and learn it with ease.

Instagram has become one of the most popular social media platforms, allowing people to share photos, videos, and stories with their followers. Sometimes, though, you might want to view someone's story without them knowing.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
Gen Z and the marketplaces - let's translate their needsLaura Szabó
The product workshop focused on exploring the requirements of Generation Z in relation to marketplace dynamics. We delved into their specific needs, examined the specifics in their shopping preferences, and analyzed their preferred methods for accessing information and making purchases within a marketplace. Through the study of real-life cases , we tried to gain valuable insights into enhancing the marketplace experience for Generation Z.
The workshop was held on the DMA Conference in Vienna June 2024.

2. Read Again is an accessible
web design-in-progress.
The goal is to support
people who love to read but
do not find the written word
accessible or enjoyable on
the world wide web.
Read Again
3. This slide show introduces
Accessible Times,
an experience that enables
readers who face barriers
because of both hearing and
vision loss to enjoy
The New York Times content
while addressing cognitive
challenges people face as
they age.
Iteration 0: Accessible Times
4. Accessible Times Team Story
Grandmother used to like to read but
stopped because of vision problems.
Mother did programming in punchcard
era and is having a hard time reading
the technology content she enjoys.

5. Accessible Times is a social support,
keeping folks up-to-speed on current
events, which gives them confidence to
participate in conversations when they
socialize.
The people behind this app want to
restore, or perhaps reinvent something
that used to be part of their loved ones'
daily routines.
Accessible Times Team Story
6. My grandmother can enjoy a distraction
from her back pain or her worries about
what's happening to her granddaughter
in streets full of protests or behind
closed doors at HACK-athons.
Accessible Times Inspiration
9. Or… she can put her fears to rest
because she understands them
better after reading The New York
Times.
Accessible Times Inspiration
10. On a previous slide, you saw that
both team members had a loved one
with failing vision.
But I also mentioned hearing loss
because as my grandmother's
hearing deteriorated, she started
losing the ability to process what
she heard.
For me, this all meant that if I wanted
to enable her to pick up her old
reading habit, I would have to do
more than add sound and raise the
volume.
Accessible Times Inspiration
11. Auditory processing is the
ability to listen, comprehend,
and respond to information that
we hear through our auditory
channels.
This includes the detection of
sound by the external ear and
the transmission of sound
through the auditory pathways
to the brain.
Auditory Processing
12. Here is an example of what someone
with an auditory processing disorder
might experience.
You say, “Tell me how a chair and a
couch are alike.”
My grandmother might hear, “Tell me
how a couch and a chair are alike.”
Or she might hear, “Tell me how a
cow and a chair are alike.”

be to stay focused if this is what’s
happening in your mind.
