Accessibility questions? Get in contact: george@goodwally.ca.
The redesign of scotiabank.com presented an ideal opportunity to truly embed accessibility into the project and management processes.
This is presentation 1 of 2. There are two presentations in this series and in both presentations we highlight the most important lessons we learned, best practices that worked and the challenges we faced and how to overcome them. However, they do complement each other:
- the 1st presentation speaks to the governance, policies and management process around the project
- the 2nd presentation describes the accessibility tasks undertaken at each SDLC phase
You'll learn how we gained participation from various stakeholders, shared best practices and built accessibility skills throughout the team.
The accessibility team at Scotia was engaged from the very beginning and collaborated with many stakeholders and as a result took the opportunity to build an accessible framework from day 1 by injecting the accessibility requirements and best practices throughout the entire Software Development Lifecycle Cycle (SDLC).
-- Objectives
The redesign of a large, national website is a complex undertaking. It is also an opportunity to do accessibility right from the beginning.
The objective of the session is to share lessons learned and practical tips about how to successfully integrate accessibility into a large project. This included:
- the ability to work with multiple teams in parallel or sequentially
- working on standards and best practices with the planning team
- working on technical solutions with the development team
-- Some questions that we answered:
- What is the role of the accessibility team in a large project? Does the role need to adapt and how?
- What are the accessibility policies & standards that apply?
- How do you manage and communicate accessibility standards and technical solutions between the various management, design, development and testing teams?
- Do you have to follow WCAG 2 by the letter? What’s the alternative?
We will provide insight into policy, planning, technical solutions and best practices that we hope will be of great benefit and use to the accessibility community.

Do UX designers have a role in reducing digital waste?User Vision
UX designers are primarily concerned with ensuring the experience of end users, but should we also consider the impact on the environment?
Do the ultra-usable and convenient digital lifestyles we help create provide ease-of-use at the cost of sustainability?
We'll explore the surprisingly large impact that digital has on C02 emissions and other contributors to the climate crisis.
Then we’ll discuss what can be done by individuals and as a profession to raise awareness of the issue contribute to ways to mitigate the problem.
It's been 30 years since Nielsen and Molich provided the first practical and widely applied framework to evaluate the usability of digital products.
How well has this venerable set of the 10 Commandments for UX stood the test of time as the technology and user expectations changed?
We'll discuss the original purpose of the heuristics, how to apply them to a structured UX evaluation, if they've stood the test of time, and whether they will apply as technology continues to evolve.
We’ll also explore whether new heuristics should be developed to account for other, recent aspects of the modern interaction and technology landscape. To illustrate this we will introduce a proposed new set of heuristics for a specific and important part of our digital interactions – social media.
CX Strategy - Presentation to the Human Centred Design Group, Dubai dubai ...User Vision
We presented to the Dubai HCD group on the topic of customer experience and UX strateby. Stepping away from the tactical methods, what are the elements that make up a successful CX strategy in an organisation? What resources are ideally in place and how to balance the enthusiasm of internal 'fans of UX / CX' with the realities of business? What are some of the most useful deliverables to provide to get a successful CX programme started and sustained? We discuss all of this and more in this presentation.
Applying user requirements for innovative products User Vision
As the benefits of UX become recognised and user-centred design processes are applied more often, project teams start using terms such as ‘user needs’ and ‘user requirements’ in their project meetings. This is great news. Addressing user needs and user requirements in a structured manner can provide great clarity for your solution design and actually spark the creative thinking that leads to innovation.
But what exactly are user needs and user requirements and what’s the best way to apply them in solution design? Several questions arise once you commit to designing for user needs and user requirements:
Are user needs and user requirements actually the same thing?
How can we ensure they are accurate and evidence-based, not just a projection of the designer’s vision?
Is documenting them worth the effort or just an administrative burden since the team intuitively knows what they are?
Even worse - could they actually become constraints that inhibit us from thinking of innovative solutions?
To tell us how the process of designing with user requirements works we have a guest presenter who is a recognised expert in user requirements engineering - Thomas Geis, President of the International UX Qualification Board. He will discuss user requirements, how they are elicited, documented and then applied to a structured user-centred design process. He will outline the difference between user needs and user requirements and how to apply them effectively to ensure your solution stays true to the needs of your users.
How can User Experience and Business Analysis work well together?User Vision
UX and business analysis – achieving the benefits of a close relationship
Many UX professionals cross paths with business analysts in the course of delivering projects. Both professions define and apply requirements, though typically one leans toward user requirements and the other toward business requirements. However these worlds often converge, especially as more organisations realise the business value of focusing on customers through user research and user-centred design. It is perhaps inevitable that these two professions, increasingly valued for customer-oriented projects, occasionally have overlapping remits which may lead to either internal friction or positive outcomes.
In this session we explore the areas of similarity, difference and potential collaboration in the respective fields of user experience and business analysis.
We will co-present the briefing with Sarah Williams, a senior business analyst and UX practitioner with leading law firm Linklaters who has successfully integrated the fields and evangelised the UX and service design approach for many internal and client-facing projects. Sarah and Chris Rourke from User Vision will discuss the goals and perspectives of the two fields and where the greatest opportunities are for knowledge transfer and co-operation for successful project delivery.
The talk will be especially of interest for UX professionals working alongside BAs, Business Analysts wanting to know more about user experience and service design, or anyone managing teams that have either or both of these important roles.
From User Experience to Earth ExperienceUser Vision
User Vision held a presentation by Gerry McGovern, author of the book World Wide Waste, about the impact of our digital lifestyle on the environment. Gerry's talk was a data-filled exploration of the scale of the problem and an invitation for individuals and organisations to act to mitigate the problem. These measures range from remembering to turn off your computer overnight to considering the amount of data that you produce, share and store.
Gerry also outlines the Digital Waste Audit that is being developed to help evaluate an organisation's current level of digital waste and develop ways to improve their Earth Experience. See on YouTube https://youtu.be/Vy5ZaBc-hHY

Tools for designers - Breakfast BriefingUser Vision
These slides are from the breakfast briefing hosted by User Vision on 16.1.2020.
Event description:
This breakfast briefing will unpack the very best programmes in the ever growing list of software available for designers to use. We will be looking at the flagship tools used today and their individual strengths and weaknesses. We will discuss how these tools can be used to work alongside each other to our benefit, and we will also be exploring how design teams within functioning organisations apply these tools to their own workflows.
In June 2018 the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) updated its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the world’s de-facto technical standard for accessibility. What are these changes and how can you can investigate if you need to change your current digital solutions? This presentation will outline the changes from WCAG 2.1, how to audit your site for compliance, and share examples to illustrate what the technical guidelines actually mean for websites, apps and other digital interfaces.
User Experience and business analysis - Edinburgh BA meetup April 2019User Vision
What is the relationship between User Experience and Business Analysis? Do their roles overlap and do they pull in the same direction? This presentation to an audience of BAs includes a brief intro to the world of UX but then a discussion about the traditional and future roles of UX and BA.
Why is defining user experience so difficult? Do we actually need to define it? How do you define it in different situations. This exercise and presentation explores these topics and more.
We check our mobiles 85 times a day, habitually and without conscious planning. We respond to Facebook likes as rats do to sugar solution. We let YouTube’s algorithms determine what our kids watch. We choose potential life partners by swiping right. We like it when websites tell us what to buy, we converse using pictures of small yellow faces, and we have conversations with our appliances.
Sure, all of these things are easy to do. But at what point does engaging with technology become too easy? Should we create user experiences that maintain a bit of friction, to remind us that we still have the capacity for complex social interactions and effortful decision making?
This session won’t give you all of the answers, but it will raise some interesting questions.
Statistics for UX Professionals - Jessica CameronUser Vision
Are you looking to expand your research toolkit to include some quantitative methods, such as survey research or A/B testing? Have you been asked to collect some usability metrics, but aren’t sure how best to go about that? Or do you just want to be more aware of all of the UX research possibilities? If your answer to any of those questions is yes, then this session is for you.
You may know that without statistics, you won’t know if A is really better than B, if users are truly more satisfied with your new site than with your old one, or which changes to your site have actually impacted conversion rates. However, statistics can also help you figure out how to report satisfaction and other metrics you collect during usability tests. And they’re essential for making sense of the results of quantitative usability tests.
This session will focus on the statistical concepts that are most useful for UX researchers. It won’t make you a quant, but it will give you a good grounding in quantitative methods and reporting. (For example, you will learn what a margin of error is, how to report quantitative data collected during a usability test - and how not to - and how many people you really need to fill out a survey.)

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
