Lesson idea and unit

Lesson/training session idea:

What is meant by the term DA (Q&A)

So who does that affect (Flipchart list)
What if I said it affects far more people and benefits everyone.

Christmas is coming- my mum has cataracts, would this be OK? 
Show yellow puzzle book - who would find this colour contrast challenging? - who is the audience it was made for? - write on flip chart 

Example 1
Scenario: you are printing off an important report of the latest data in black and white so you can read it on your journey. You need this to give a short presentation first thing.

Graphs, pie charts, line graphs (black and white - also colour blind have this same dilemma) - write on flipchart all who are affected 

Example 2
The next day on your journey you have poor Wi-Fi and images just won’t load, thankfully you can see alt text has been added on images (alt - stands for alternative - that’s not the same as description)

Graphs, fire escape 
Write on flipchart all who are affected 

Example 3
At last you have internet and you’ve been told about a fantastic interview that was in the staff news about movember and the video is working but the train is so noisy you can’t hear it and you realise you’ve forgotten your headphones.

Play the video, no sound no visuals.
Write on flipchart all who are affected 

Example 4
Plain English example 
Write on flipchart all who are affected 

Example 5
Headings and links (together)
Write on flipchart all who are affected

We could keep going with many more examples.

There’s now a long list on your flipchart, that’s why it’s important, and that’s why there is legislation for digital content online.

Show care act, GDPR, web regs 

As a scheme of work/unit

Look up BTEC spec and write it like that:

Identify a range of users that are impacted by poor digital accessibility.

Explain why digital accessibility is important.

Describe the 12 basic principles of making content accessible and who they might benefit. 

Explain in detail six digital scenarios and how to make them more accessible for everyone.

Demonstrate six principles of digital accessibility and how they are applied to content.

Lit review sequence

  Sections : Background and context (set the scene/ rationale) Social model of disability The legal context for digital accessibility Conceptual perspectives for defining digital accessibility  The problem- the lack of accessible content causing barriers - the wider lack of knowledge AND  need for teaching about DA awareness (social responsibility and for social model to work) The teaching of digital accessibility   Not formally on the curriculum  Where is digital accessibility currently taught/how (uni and workplace) - then the gaps of knowledge prior to uni and the workplace - yet all are using and creating digital content already. Best approach found was to integrate it across the curriculum and reinforce - needs to be taught earlier in schools and then built upon - no papers in school apart from 2 The need for the primary education context and why upper KS2 - establishing the earliest opportunity to introduce and explore the topic to then build upon Cross re...

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...

Notes from original proposal

Text taken from original proposal to unpack/expand: The barriers and ‘unlearning’ highlighted during SCULPT were potentially framed by prior complex  beliefs and understandings and ‘unlearning’ or ‘retrofitting’ skills (Youngblood, 2010). As Gu (2010, p.340) explains “a large part of human and professional knowledge can hardly retain its original meaning when it is divorced from the contexts in which it was constructed and produced.” This made me consider that these skills should potentially be taught at the point these original meanings are constructed and that happens at a much younger age. To understand when it would be appropriate to introduce the basics of awareness and skills in school, I considered the age when young people develop digital skills (Department for Education, 2013) as well as an understanding of what it means to be disabled and children’s perceptions for those with disabilities (Boer et al, 2012).  In a literature review Babik & Gardner (2021) found th...
