Lit review structure to plan for

Introduction - The teaching of digital accessibility

This part of the literature review will explore the teaching of digital accessibility related topics, how learners respond to being taught the subject, and what can be learned from the experiences of those who teach the subject.

Why it’s important to prepare young people for workplace and society.

It’s taught mainly in computer/HCI courses 

Taught in different ways 

Overview- Taught as modules, short courses, and within whole courses 

Main learning objectives 

Ways it is taught and training widely disseminated 

MOOCs for wider dissemination

*Workshops (work based training - might put earlier)

Taught integrally across a course

It’s a multidisciplinary topic with several lenses

Taught from WCAG guidelines and tools

Complexity for beginners etc

Taught with users and/or simulations

Simulations and user contact effectiveness 

Challenges of learning the topic

Learners not aware prior to course 

It needs to be wider - including preparing young people in prior knowledge of the topic.

Learner engagement 

Recruiting people with disabilities 

Unlearning

Complex perceptions and name accessibility 

Someone else’s responsibility v everyone’s

Low hanging fruit

Pre and post intervention findings (heightened awareness after intervention)

Challenges of teaching the topic 

Staff capabilities of creating own learning materials (lack of knowledge, time, training)

Universal design for learning (differentiation)

Staff awareness, time, resources and pedagogical guidance for teaching the subject

If there it’s often the hero model - not sustainable 

The needs for simpler materials to help get it used

Discussion of findings 

Use notes

Methodologies and methods used

Pilot amends

Remove what subject do you teach. Did you learn about how to make digital content inclusive and accessible at school, college or university? What region are you from in the UK? What type of school or setting are you from: Mainstream school Specialist provision Private education  Trainee teacher Research survey invitation I am Helen Wilson, a second year part-time PHD student at the University of Worcester. I am planning a piece of research titled: Working with teachers to plan a school classroom intervention about inclusion in our digital society As part of this research I’m conducting an initial online survey to help me prepare for the study. Who is this survey for? This survey aims to collect a minimum of 50 participant responses from teachers across the UK. Participants in this study: must be teachers from  upper key stage 2 (Years 5 or 6) , the survey will ask this at the beginning before revealing the questions teachers can be from any type of school setting  includ...

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...

 #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...
