Baby bliss bot onscreen keyboard video recording
Description:
The Baby Bliss Bot project at the IDRC would like to design an editor for customizing on-screen keyboards (OSK) for people with disabilities. Baby Bliss users can use the onscreen keyboard to select a symbol which then can lead to another level of keys or keyboard. For instance, if one presses the "transportation" key, it opens the transportation keyboard. From there, someone could go even deeper into another level of keys.
The project team would like you to help generate ideas for an editor that will allow users to create different keyboards, keyboard levels, and navigation between levels of keyboards.

Designing for Whole Body Interaction with Children
Description:
Whole body interaction environments are increasingly common in informal learning settings, including museums. Empirical research demonstrates that such environments can afford children opportunities to engage in learning with embodied metaphors, and play. However, less research has investigated young children’s social interaction in such settings. This talk presents a design research approach and findings from a study that investigated young children’s social interaction in whole body interaction environments. Findings demonstrate that young children engage in various forms of movement-based play during interaction, which can foster social bonding and support embodied meaning making. The talk concludes with design considerations and suggestions that can support designers, and design researchers, working from an embodiment perspective and within inclusive design

Eudaemonic Design as a Co-created Approach to Health and Well-being: An Exemplar Case with Older Adults at Home
...
Community Workshop
...
Jenna Mikus
...
Dec 13, 2022
...
2 - 3pm ET
...
Home is central to who we are as humans. It shapes us. At a time when COVID-19-related physical distancing has prompted a global live/work/play from home pervasiveness, there is a growing demand to conceptualize how homes can encourage flourishing health and well-being. Developing this understanding is especially necessary when contemplating the impact on vulnerable demographics, such as the rapidly growing older adult population who desire to age-in-place but do not necessarily have the infrastructure and support needed to do so. Based on co-designed futuring activities conducted with older adults and designers, this research focuses on understanding what a flourishing home could look and feel like when building on the neo-Aristotelian concept of eudaemonia (literally defined as eu (good or health) + daimon (true self)), which correlates to people being the best versions of themselves. Eudaemonic well-being has evolved in the field of psychology as a means of proactively designing for flourishing health and well-being via Self Determination Theory, but it has yet to be explored in a built environment context. By considering eudaemonia as a worldview, this research examines how home-based design can prompt optimal health and well-being—not only by applying the resulting Eudaemonic Design model and principles to the home environment but also by following a respectful design approach to precipitate virtually-engaged participants to feel empowered, experience agency, and act as their best eudaemonic selves.

Human-robot interaction for inclusive coding education

2 - 3pm ET
Educational Robotics is a widely researched and applied field, but most robotics courses for children and young are not designed or adapted for learners with disability. This context is even less explored when we observe the use of social robots for education since most human-robot interactions designed for people with disability are focused in rehabilitation, mobility, or diagnosis. Robots, especially social robots, can act as powerful tools for teaching coding to school-aged children with special needs. In this meeting, I am going to present a status report on my master's course project that seeks to adapt the Weavly platform experience into a human-robot interaction.

2 - 3pm ET
The Canadian Typography Archives website requires an image inspection function that allows a user to magnify an artifact and pan over all parts of the artifact.
Here is a link to an example of image inspection we are seeing as an exemplar experience using mouse functionality
The CTA team has had some discussion and noted the following:
...
WCAG 2.1 (note AODA references WCAG 2.0)
2.5.1 path based and multi point gesture (this may apply)
...
What to do:
Provide controls that perform same behaviour as the mouse
When image opens buttons appear and are in the focus order
...
Mobile: pinching, alternative is zoom in zoom out and button controls as well.
...
concern: Buttons for keyboard manoeuvre may not be a smooth experience
We look forward to the discussion!

Dobble Debate - Bake Your Own

Lynne Heller

Feb 8, 2022
...
2 - 3pm ET
A continuation of the Design Crit from January 18, 2022, focused on the Bake Your Own experience.
Dobble Debate: debating with a difference, is a game that facilitates discussions and learning about human difference. The game employs the powers of play and humor to catalyze open discussion and compassionate thinking around topics that are often considered taboo. Players are challenged to rethink assumptions they may have around what it means to be disabled or have lived different experiences from their own.
Dobble Debate recognizes that every individual’s lived experience is different, and changes significantly based on their current environment. Therefore, we explicitly acknowledge D/deafness, disability, differing abilities , autism, and neurodiversity plus (DDDAND+). This acronym does not cover all the diverse identities usually lumped under ‘disability’; we are using it to draw attention to the variety of human experience. The label of ‘disability’ runs the risk of minimizing the diversity of lived differences.

Description:
The goal of the Canadian Typography Archives (CTA) is to create a free and open dedicated online space for documenting the histories of type and typography in Canada, whether currently public, privately held, still to be discovered, or not yet acknowledged or represented. To begin with the site will focus on pre-digital histories (approximately before 1985).
On July 27th, we presented mid-fidelity wireframes of the CTA header and footer and received good feedback on ways to improve the functionality to meet accessibility guidelines. Figma File from the session
As an extension of the session, we are looking to center the discussion around the individual artifact (content) pages and get feedback on various elements within the layout in regards to different interaction states, content layout and overall functionality.

Description:
In many settings, especially professional ones, we are often trained to avoid “failure” and experimentation and strive for perfectionism. However, co-design is all about experimentation. In this Community of Practice meeting, we want to explore how we make space to create a safe space to “fail”, flail, look silly, and speak honestly - both for our co-designers, and ourselves as facilitators.
We'd love to explore this topic with other practitioners of co-design.

We’re hoping to start a series of Co-design Community of Practice meetings, with this meeting being the first of many. A community of practice is a group of people who share an interest for something, and they get together to share knowledge and learn how to do it better. We’re hoping to do this for co-design, since many of us are just starting co-design on our projects.
We’ll use this first meeting to talk about different elements of our co-design practice: What’s happening on our projects, our interests, challenges, and more. We can also brainstorm what we want this community of practice to be.
