(Floe) Notes on Inclusive Learning Design Handbook content

On the creation of content:

On retrieving of content:

• Matching/discoverability of relevant content, relevant consumability

Lessons from our tools:

• Rich, multi-layered, accessible video player
  • Ease of operability by different input modes (mouse, keyboard)
  • Customizability of UI (UI size for operability, contrast and text size for perceivability)
  • Layering of content alternatives
    • Standard A/V track
    • Audio descriptions (audio narration of what's happening visually on the screen)
    • CC and transcript
  • Portability of content--video on standard platforms, but also other exports (i.e., downloadable/printable transcript)
  • Scannable video: break the linear nature of video (and help to consume at one's own pace)
    • Interactive transcript (and portable transcript)
    • Scrubber with frame preview and caption
• Authoring environment
  • Gentle prodding of author to remind them to add content alternatives for every kind of non-text content added
  • Adjustable UI size, both in authoring and presentation
• Universal Subtitles
  • Accessibility guidelines and lessons in authoring captions (both design of authoring environment & for content producers)
• UIO
  • Adjusting presentation of content to be more easily perceivable to the learner (make learning possible)
  • Text adjustments: size, colour contrast (both strong and mild, the latter to cater to photosensitivity), style (some type is more readable than others, both generally speaking and also for specific individuals; cite dyslexia type), line spacing
  • Increased operability by making things more easily clickable by mouse (Fitts' law)
  • Condensing text/summarizing headers (Hick's law)
