IDRC's involvement


"We are building a curated learning experience for business, obligated organizations, community groups, and customers* on Inclusive Design."

    *for
  • the exact wording of groups, see the Certified for Access project description.

What is being built

  • Something like an OER. What do we mean when we say we are making an "OER"?
* *
    • consolidation of content (like the Design Toolkit landing page)
* reframing
    • reframing
  • additional scaffolding and content required to flesh out obvious gaps
  • Changes to improve access
    • i.e. info re-architecture (i.e. for the ILDH?), redesign (i.e. for ADOD?)

  • Building better entry points - not buried in a "thicket of the
"
  • Wiki garden"
  • Razorfish will be making the Big Idea website, and our "OER" will be integrated somehow. This is to-be-determined.

1. "Smaller" resources that can be integrated into our existing resources

2. Stand-alone resources which need increased visibility e.g. re-design, or creation of doc site etc
3. Consolidate/describe our resources from BIGIDeAS perspective (redefine entry points etc)


What do we already have?


Under DIY bubble, add:
  • micro computers
  • prototyping tools
    • cardboard prototyping
    • upcoming sonification prototyping tool

How do our partner projects fit into this? i.e. Pressbooks, PhET

Possible Entry Points

  • Goal focused:
          - document
        • i.e. coming to learn document and web accessibility (ADOD
      )
        • , WCAG, ARIA
          - The ID Guide
        • )
      • Question: If we anticipate users coming to the resource for concrete information, how do we guide them to a perspective shift?
        • How might we strcuture / present / strategize to guide them along the path?


      Improvements to be made

      The Inclusive Design Guide:

      • should be presented as a resource to be used - some thought may need to be given to re-present some parts 
          - Engagement: Concrete -> Perspective Shift. How might we strcuture / present / strategize to guide them along the path?
          -
      • Tools section in the Guide may be the concrete things business audience are looking for immediately
    •     - In the Tools section there's little going back to other parts of the guide - perhaps enhance this.

    - ADOD:
    • - mostly up to date: includes Word, Acrobat
    • - the value is in its specificity. Keeping it up to date in important.
    • - perhaps a redesign at some point .(very "Drupal-y")


    Specifications / Standards
    -

    Metadata -
    • where does it fit overall? Do we want to make this more prevalent
    ?
    DIY bubble:
        - micro computers
    • - prototyping tools
    • - cardboard prototyping
    • - upcoming sonification prototyping tool
    • / relevant?

    Other resources to includeconsider / topics of interest:
    •     - data visualization, sonification, dealing with big data
    Questions:
    *
    • * Do we have any resources on dfinining "Customers"? (customer service
      • i.e.
      there may be no typical "customer" ... getting groups to think about their clients/customers/partners as a spectrum)
    • * customer service - personalised options e.g. chat vs. phone
        * How do our partner projects fit into this? i.e. Pressbooks under DIY? Sapling Learning  as a case study?
        * How do we present the idea that going beyond the spec, standard, etc is good and encouraged?
    •     * it may be implicit in some of our resources (i.e. Design Guide) but it may need to be more explicit.
    • * How do we enable updating, adaptations, translations?
    • * Are there tools already that can be used?
    • How does this work with Razorfish?
    • Razorfish will be making the Big Idea website
      • Oxford Properties "ASK" program
      • examples of ID in customer service. Customized or personalized customer service (i.e. online chat vs. voice chat).
    • case studies - examples of how ID is being used
      • i.e. Oxford Properties, Macmillan Learning, PhET, Microsoft
    • everyday examples
      • Do we have a compiled list of examples of things like Good grips which are good examples of ID? Does one exist already?
      *
    * Look to quantify
      • this would contribute to encouraging businesses to go beyond the standards etc
    • quantifying the benefits of
    ID:    *
    • - David Lawson
    What are we building:
        * a resource / compilation in some digital form which will then be incorporated somehow into the Big Ideas website (which Razorfish is making).
        * additional scaffolding and content required to flesh out obvious gaps.
        * Changes to improve access:
    • * info re-architecture (i.e. for the ILDH?)
    • * Redesign (i.e. for ADOD?)
    1. "Smaller" resources that can be integrated into our existing resources
    2. Stand-alone resources which need increased visibility e.g. re-design, or creation of doc site etc
    3. Consolidate/describe our resources from BIGIDeAS perspective (redefine entry points etc)
    Other resource:
      • Also work of David Lawson may be of interest (contact info to be given)
    • presentations / slide decks / videos / other media?
        * concrete examples are awesome
    •     i.e. web chat for customer service
    • * case / success studies: Oxford Properties (they were at DEEP talking about how there were changing)
    • *this would contribute to encouraging businesses to go beyond the standards etc
    • *
      Should we do more videos?
    • Resource / idea sharing:

    *
    • how can this be done within groups: what tools are available? What are the benefits.
