Between advances such as the Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification (WAI-ARIA), work done to make frameworks like Drupal and Angular JS more accessible, and legislation such as the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) in the USA and the internet regulations under the AODA in Canada, we have seen progress in digital accessibility. Or have we? The reality is that while we have definitely seen pockets of progress on various fronts, many websites, mobile applications, and technologies that we have yet to see (but are being thought-up by startups around the world) have and are not considering accessibility. It is within this context that based on his experience and observations, having worked in the digital accessibility space for over ten years, Jennison Asuncion will discuss what he sees as some of the areas where we who live and breathe digital accessibility need to step in, and in some cases, step up, if we are going to see the kind of sustained improvements in digital accessibility that are scalable and that will keep pace with the rapid pace of technology change.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125404217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, chess involves skills that are highly correlated with dyslexia, such as visuospatial and calculation abilities. In this paper, we created a online chess game designed for people with dyslexia and seek to understand whether people with dyslexia learn and play chess online in ways that differ from other students and whether such differences may be leveraged to improve classroom performance. To test how people with dyslexia learn to play chess we carried out a within-subject experiment with 62 participants, 31 of them with diagnosed dyslexia. Participants used an instrumented web-based chess learning platform that we developed to (i) complete lessons on how to play chess and about chess theory, (ii) work through exercises designed to test and reaffirm their skills, and (iii) play chess against a computer opponent. We could not find significant differences on four dependent measures out of the twelve measures we collected. Therefore, dyslexia might have an impact on how people learn and play chess using a computer, suggesting that chess may be useful as a fun way to help people with dyslexia improve their abilities.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127845808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such services have an even more critical role to play in developing regions. Due to the digital divide, a much higher prevalence of mobile-only internet connection has been reported, where millions of users leapfrogged to mobile-internet entirely skipping the desktop-based internet phase. In this paper, we report findings from a longitudinal field study conducted in a private higher education institution in India. The aim of the study was to explore the potential of an integrated blended learning setup which combines WhatsApp with a Learning Management System (LMS). The study was performed in a class of 20 final year engineering students over a period of three months. Our findings suggest that there is a systematic bias in the usage of WhatsApp vs. LMS based on several factors, including specifics of the learning activity, student behavior, and status of the course in the semester, and the time of the day. Synchronous and asynchronous interaction on WhatsApp are perceived to be engaging, support collaboration and aid learning by complementing LMS-based and face-to-face learning.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130703690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Personalization is a key component of solutions addressing important and long-standing pedagogical challenges in education, such as dealing with heterogeneity of learning styles. In particular scenarios where accessibility support is required, personalization depends on the creation of different representations for individual pieces of content. In this light, the main goal of this article is to describe how we addressed the challenges involved in the construction of a platform that satisfies this requirement. We thus present a system that supports the creation, adaptation, and delivery of personalized courses for people with multiple types of disabilities. More specifically, we introduce the technology, describe its main capabilities, and discuss the results of early evaluations by two instructors of an institution that provides vocational training for people with intellectual disabilities. Our initial results show that the tool was favorably assessed by the instructors and can potentially be adopted in this community.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132789898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
