Kuvaus

A key aspect of digital accessibility is ensuring that information can be perceived and understood irrespective of the cognitive and sensory capabilities of the individual, for example persons with visual, auditory or cognitive disabilities. The principles of accessible design also have relevance for information presentation where environmental or situational factors limit usefulness of what might seem preferred modalities. By understanding the foundational concepts of our sensory/perceptual systems, and the requirements of accessible design, we will explore how information can be adapted and transformed to suit a variety of individual needs. Modalities examined will include speech and non-speech audio, tactile displays, haptics, and visual adaptation.

Osaamistavoitteet

Through a combination of lecture and laboratory projects, students will uncover the foundational principles of designing alternative representations for traditionally visual or auditory information. These principles will be aligned with requirements defined by EU and international Accessibility Standards. Students will also understand how attention to accessible design of information can be of broader benefit to users in a variety of contexts.

Suoritustavat

Tapa 1

Kuvaus:
Pass/Fail. Obligatory attendance at all lectures and lab sessions. Active participation is required.
Arviointiperusteet:
Participants working individually or in small groups, will analyse an information presentation context, develop an empirically-based approach to supporting one or more accessibility solutions, and implement a demonstration using a toolbox of technologies made available in the lab. The resulting solution will be presented in the final day via a 5-7 minute oral presentation and demonstration. Each participant filling the above-stated requirements will receive a certificate of participation in the course, but to receive a course diploma with credit statement (3 ECTS) the student must also return a project report (which includes a written report of the prototype solution using one or more of the following: storyboard, physical model, software, or video).
