Specifically, his work explores the issue of access to higher education for people with disabilities. This issue is heavily influenced by several factors including but not limited to: previous educational experience in the k-12 environment, access and exposure to technology in general (as well as assistive technology specifically), the understanding of human values around disability and universal usability, as well as the understanding and use of support services for people with disabilities (both in general as well as in an educational context). Moderated by: Tonja Conerly, Professor of Sociology, San Jacinto College View recording https://youtu.be/zBV4put_g0AThis presentation will offer the audience a chance to understand the central ideas behind universal usability and the impacts of this design philosophy, to learn ways universal usability can be implemented in terms of content or physical design, to be exposed to assistive technologies and the strengths and limitations of those technologies, to brainstorm ways these technologies could be improved, to think about how universal usability can be used in future design endeavors, and to evaluate usability testing methods and best practices for determining universal usability.OERopen educational resourcesaccessibilityuniversal designuniversal usabilityPresentation
