New educational methodologies take full advantage of ICT in a mobile customized user-friendly environment, to support learning and stimulate individuals' potential. Unfortunately, technology-enhanced learning tools are not often designed with accessibility in mind, although they can greatly benefit the personal empowerment and inclusion of special-needs people. To address this gap, a Web platform has been created for delivering accessible games to people with Down syndrome. Since personalization, orderliness and positive reinforcement are crucial to learning in these subjects, the platform offers a personalized safe environment for learning, conforming to behavioral analysis principles. Learning analytics are incorporated in the platform for easy monitoring of student progress via Web interfaces. The participatory design driving the development of the learning platform allowed the customization of the games' discriminative stimuli, difficulty levels and reinforcement, as well as the creation of a game \"engine\" to easily set up new personalized exercises. These customization features make the game platform usable by a larger audience, including individuals with learning difficulties and autism.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"116 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":"122116804","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}

The intention is to then combine this back end design with various front end applications in order to provide improved web experiences for users with assistive needs (e.g. assisting visually impaired users by supporting more selective screenreader output, or improving experiences of users with cognitive deficits by allowing reduction of clutter or zooming in on selected web page content). I propose to build a comprehensive computer vision-based system to analyse the semantic structure of web pages based purely on an image of the rendered page, which will produce a rich representation of the page as a tree of regions labelled according to their semantic role. Most research into web page segmentation has focused on the use of the structure of the DOM tree and visual features derived from properties specified in the DOM tree. I argue, however, that the image of the rendered page may be a better representation to use, since it is created by the page designer to convey the structure of the page to the user, while the source code and DOM tree are simply intended to cause the browser's rendering engine to produce the correct appearance, and treat many types of content as black boxes. Additionally, my proposed system uses exactly the information seen by a user regardless of implementation method; this gives advantages in implementation-independence and versatility.","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":"129520894","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}

Unfortunately, in developing countries this problem is magnified because, in general, low-income groups have limited access to appropriate content and assistive technologies. In this paper, we present initial findings from a qualitative field study of computer-mediated vocational training for low-income students with intellectual disability (ID) in Brazil's largest urban area. The observations took place during 3 computer-based training sessions, which involved 23 students with ID. Based on data gathered from observations and semi-structured interviews with 2 instructors, we describe and discuss strategies they employ to teach heterogeneous groups of students with ID. We also examine some obstacles that our participants usually face during the classes at the computer lab and present suggestions for future initiatives that could better support instructors and students with ID in the learning process.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"184 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":"131350109","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}

Although recent works have used wearable devices to try to overcome these issues, most interfere with people's routines, are uncomfortable to use and unsuitable for long-term assessments. In contrast, my approach aims to monitor PD in a longitudinal, naturalistic, non-disruptive and non-intrusive way. It uses smartphones to log social, environmental and web interaction data about people and their surroundings. This data is complemented with other web data sources and then processed to infer a set of metrics (a latent behavioural variable or LBV) of people's activities and habits. Then, LBVs' trends are quantified and mapped to the progression of the disease. During a first pilot study, I collected a dataset with ≈290 million records that has 34.5x more rows and scanned 4x more data sources than state-of-the-art sets. I used this data to identify six possible PD-related LBVs. This project aims to get a more accurate disease picture and to reduce the physical and psychological burden of traditional and other technology-based assessment methods. Ultimately, the work has the potential to save people's time and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health services.","PeriodicalId":337838,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th Web for All Conference","volume":"73 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":"122292961","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}
