IDRC's involvement
"We are building a curated learning experience for business, obligated organizations, community groups, and customers* on Inclusive Design."
TODO: find the 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"?
- 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:
- upcoming sonification prototyping tool
How do our partner projects fit into this? i.e. Pressbooks, PhET
Possible Entry Points
- Goal focused:
- i.e. coming to learn document and web accessibility (ADOD, WCAG, ARIA)
- 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
- Tools section in the Guide may be the concrete things business audience are looking for immediately
- 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 / relevant?
Other resources to consider / topics of interest:
- Do we have any resources on defining "Customers / Clients"? i.e. there may be no typical "customer" ... getting groups to think about their clients/customers/partners as a spectrum
- 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.
