Tegrity Captioning: Strategies for Deploying Accessible Lecture Capture Video3Play Media
This recorded session from the Tegrity User Conference 2013 features accessibility specialists from Indiana University – Purdue University, Fort Wayne and McGraw-Hill Education. Presenters discuss their accessibility strategies, solutions implemented, costs and benefits derived, as well as best practices and tips to successfully implement accessible video and lecture capture.
Online accessibility is slowly moving forward. In the future, however, we can expect websites and videos to be designed with accessibility in mind—the same way that no building today is built without a handicapped entrance. Below is a brief summary of the legal obligations of universities to disabled students.
Of course, captioning video allows for deaf and hard-of-hearing students to understand video courses and keeps the university compliant with the law. But students use captions in a variety of ways.

The 7 most common usability issues by UserTestingInVision App
After watching hundreds of thousands of hours of user research videos, the folks at UserTesting have identified the 7 most common usability issues. Find out what they are—and how to avoid them.
Web accessibility refers to the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to, websites by people with disabilities. When your website is inaccessible, research shows you could be excluding up to 20 percent of your visitors from interacting with your content and functionality. If your university website is inaccessible, you could be preventing access to education, student services, and more.
When your website is accessible, everyone can consume your information freely. Visually-impaired users can visit your website using a screen reader. Those who can’t use a mouse can navigate your site using a keyboard or other input device.
While creating accessible websites involves every step, including design and content, the foundation for good accessibility starts with good markup. Join my workshop to learn more about accessibility and how to program a high-quality user experience that is inclusive and beneficial to all.

As Product Professionals we are told our job is to create products that either solve user problems or take advantage of opportunities. The challenge is that, during this time, this seems hard to find as new product innovations are being released every day. Are we running out of problems or opportunities? No, we have simply only been looking at the problem/opportunity from our usual viewpoint of the average user. What if we looked at it from a different lens? What if we look at people who always struggle with problems based on their environments not accommodating their unique needs? I argue, this is the gold mine of opportunity for creating innovative products. Solving the mismatches of people with disabilities will lead into innovations for your users and customers of all abilities! We will discuss the real-world examples of this, how to do it, and future market demand. We will all be disabled one day.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

24. The 5 most commonissues (streaming)
5. Flashing images on content I want to watch
“Across all streaming services, warnings for flashing images aren’t consistent or
prominent enough. I often have my migraines triggered because of this.”
“I have photosensitive epilepsy and there are frequently no warnings on films
with flashing images, which is really annoying if you’re paying for something.”
25. The5 most common issues
4. No audio description
“I frequently find shows on Netflix that I would like to
watch, but do not have audio description. This mean
that I miss out on things that my friends are all
enjoying and using, and as a young person, it makes
me feel very alone in the world.”
26. The5 most common issues
3. Lack of trigger warnings on programmes and films
“It is extremely rare to see trigger warnings”
“I’m triggered by specific violent content which I often
have to search for online using websites such as
doesthedogdie.com as the warnings on Netflix and
Amazon Prime Video often don’t say.”
27. The5 most common issues
2. The video streaming app or website is difficult to
navigate
“I get easily confused and find it difficult to work out how to set up and use
accounts and services. A friend helped me with Amazon Prime. I have not used
other streaming services for this reason.”
“I mainly have difficulty logging in and navigating sites and services because of
visual problems. Without high contrast (black and white) I can’t focus. Also
moving images behind text sets of my severe vertigo. I cannot complete log in
without help.”
28. The5 most common issues

“The lack of subtitling is shocking on streamed TV services. There is absolutely
no excuse for dropping subtitles.”
“I am deaf, all programmes in this modern age should have subtitles”
“I have chronic fatigue syndrome (ME), part of which contains noise sensitivity,
so subtitles are a godsend as I can have the volume down low enough not to
aggravate my symptoms.”
“[I have] Autism. Sensitivity to flashing lights. Sometimes I prefer to watch with
the sound off, so I need subtitles.”
It’s a common myth that web accessibility only benefits disabled people or people with sensory, cognitive or motor impairments. In reality, making your website accessible means it’s easier for everyone to use.
Different situations and environments affect how a person uses a website. Some people may be temporarily disabled, either through a broken leg, ear infection, by cataracts, or holding a baby for example. There is a famous quote from the Home Office which reads ‘we are all only temporarily not disabled’.
Others may be in an environment that affects the way they interact with your website. For example, someone using a phone screen outdoors in bright sunlight, in a loud environment like a pub, using your website on the bus, or while they’re multi-tasking.
Some great examples of where inclusive design has influenced innovation:
OXO Good Grips line
The typewriter
Voice assistants
Best practice techniques for web accessibility complement SEO strategy. Having a semantic heading structure (correct use of H1, H2s), using descriptive alt-text for images, link text and adding captions to videos all help in search optimisation.
Legal & General developed a new website with accessibility at its forefront and tested it with disabled people.
The results:
Organic search traffic increased by 25% in the first 24 hours after launch, eventually growing to 50%
Page loading times reduced by 75%
Annual site maintenance savings of £200,000
Staff time spent managing content reduced from 5 days to half a day per job
100% return on investment (ROI) in 12 months
Engineers at Apple have been accessibility innovators since the company began. For pioneering features like VoiceOver, Braille display, and baking accessibility into all their products, they are widely regarded as the best in the industry.
Around 14 million people in the UK (20% of the population) are disabled. Design that does not consider disabled people is the same as stopping 1 in every 5 customers who try to get through your shop door coming in. Tesco worked with the RNIB in 2001 to make the home grocery service at Tesco.com more accessible to blind customers. By the launch of the separate new site, an accessible alternative, it was thoroughly tested by more than 70 blind and partially sighted people.
Tesco built a faster version of the website with:
more intuitive navigation structure (previously unusable with screenreader)
clear descriptive link text
simpler language
fewer images, decreasing the time it takes a webpage to load
Tesco discovered that fully sighted customers found it easier to use this new interface and shortly built accessibility into all its online services.
The results:
revenue from online sales increased to £13 million annually
deliveries per average week increased from 28,000 in 2000, to 70,000 per week in 2001
But the online world is still woefully un-inclusive and many sectors will gain the competitive edge by implementing accessible design.
As web accessibility awareness increases, as does the legal and ethical obligation to make your digital services inclusive.
Making sure your website is set up for keyboard-only navigation is a fundamental accessibility principle.
It affects anyone who uses assistive technology, like a screen reader, to navigate through a website. This includes a large range of people with motor, sensory and or cognitive impairments.
Keyboard users typically use the tab key to navigate through elements on a web page such as links, buttons and forms.
Inconsistent page layouts make finding information difficult. It’s important to structure any long-form website content using H1, H2 and H3 level headings. This helps to organise the content visually, but also provides important functionality for those using assistive technology.
The more predictable and intuitive your content is, the more likely a user will find the information they need.
It’s important to make buttons, links and controls large enough so that people with motor impairments can use them.
Small controls, or controls that are placed too close to each other are difficult for many people to use. It’s best to not demand precision from your user and give all clickable elements space.
This is especially relevant on mobile and tablet devices with smaller screens.
