 Thank you. Yeah, so I live in Germany, but I'm from Belgium. So it is going to fall It's like coming home. I did better water also, which is also tradition at false them So what I'm going to talk about Offal open educational resources on digital accessibility for building your own courses This is the output of a nearest bus plus projects. So funded by European Commission. That's already ended in 2017 But the open education resources we created are still available. So what was the background for this project? Basically, we noticed that was a lack of accessible design in computer design information design courses in higher education, especially in mandatory part of higher education It's also a lack of expertise of University teachers in accessible teaching and accessible. There's also a lack of accessible course materials It's also lack of expertise about accessible design in government industry academia And this is becoming very important now, especially because the changing legal requirements about accessible accessibility in ICT in Europe in 2016 There was the EU directive 2016 slash 2102 about accessibility of websites internets and apps for public sector bodies Not for everybody. And there's also an upcoming European Accessibility Act It was expected to get through European Parliament and last year, but they didn't maybe it will work this year So basically a lot more people need to know about accessibility in ICT than in the past So a bit about this directive, as I said, it only applies to public sector bodies. So City councils, national governments, their websites also, in some countries also Publicly funded universities And this is already basically in valid now because since 23 September 2018 each EU member states were supposed to have national laws and regulations that comply with the directive and it goes on In 23 September this year all websites created since well since September last year will need to be accessible and then Almost two years from now all websites also the older one from public sector bodies will need to be accessible and And then also in 2021 mobile apps created by public sector bodies are offered by public sector bodies will need to be accessible but by accessible we mean basically Full web refers to the web content accessibility guidelines created by the W3C There is also European Standard EN 301.549 from Etsy that is freely available With accessibility requirements and these will also be relevant to the European Accessibility Act Which will apply to much more Have just like the few items computers and operating systems at EMS ticketing machines taking machines smart books So that's basically Sure we vendors of software will of course do that and we wouldn't want the Open source community be to be left behind because it didn't know about it. So that's that's why I want to talk one of the reasons But as I said at the beginning of my presentation What I'm talking about is the result of a European projects called moocap or accessibility partnership It was coordinated by the university where I work got me the University in Germany and We had partners from around Europe, so University in Oslo Technical University Dresden You're on us a couple of the University of Lins University of the Aegean so they're really on the islands of the Aegean Dublin Institute of Technology University of Southampton and the University of Paris in France and And what we did in this project I'm just looking to say tell the whole story But some of the main outputs most relevant outputs in this context is that we created 11 online courses on digital accessibility So one introductory course and then some further courses Four of these courses were MOOCs If you don't know what the MOOC is it's MOOC stands for massive open online course Like future learning UK annex Coursera So So we put them well some of the courses were MOOCs and when we well some all the registrations Had about 20,000 registrations in total for all these courses together The course that there's also big as all There's also always a lot of people abandon the course during the MOOC or the freely available online course And not only that the resources from those courses Were made available as open education resources. So they're available under the CC by license so creative commons license attribution and We chose this specific license because it's much more important Have the largest Possible audience for it than to prevent for example commercial commercial exploitation by adding the NC clause and from creative commons So yes, if you want to use it for creative Commercial purpose you can Network of the partners who were involved that anyone can join to continue well production of our resources Images at the bottom are some images from Well from the resources we created So-called they in the life stories some people wish refer to them as personas But they weren't actually based on on real user research. So we shouldn't call them personas Basically the partners involved the project already had the large body of knowledge about accessibility and use that to create these stories So we'll talk a little bit about the courses we created The first course was an introductory course called digital accessibility enabling participation in information society to run on future learn because one of the partners one of the partners in the projects University of Southampton is a member of future learn. So we could host it there. It was a big legal hassle that led to an monthly delay actually in the project before we could Actually put the course on future learn, but it worked in the end This course has run four times so far. I don't know if it's going to be repeated But you can read it or interest if if you're interested and The resources from that course are available on the moocapp website. So at moocapp.gpi.eu there you find Navigation bar also that I will also show at the end that takes you to this resources That's also where you find this day in the life From that contain the images I showed in the previous slides So what we have in these resources it was some of those resources are text documents So those resources are videos and those videos are have captions for accessibility so people who are What deaf need to be able to what to do to know what's going on in the dialogue for example And those videos are on Vimeo some of them also on YouTube, but the downside of YouTube is that you can't Download videos from YouTube without violating YouTube's terms of views Of course, I know there are browser plugins It's actually the default option. Yeah So we have also text documents quizzes basically those documents Stored on Google Docs So we can download them add them edit them whatever you like So this this is a view of oops. Yeah That's not what I intended So an example video on Vimeo Where we have so this is the moocap account on Vimeo has Several channels for each well a channel for each course where I have the videos for these courses Pause Three more those one course called user-centered design for accessibility, which is about involving people with disabilities in Well, I see design This so this was from our part in in no way This was not well a mooc. They hosted it on their own e-learning platform from Canvas Has a few videos with Jonathan Lazaro, which is well who is rather an expert and in this In this course To involve people with disabilities in your well in open source design for example, that's something you can look at A bit of a special case among the course we created One of my colleagues About accessible gamification. So a little bit more about gamification and strictly accessibility, but still interesting And this is one of the courses we managed to put on edX Thanks to a partnership between to got me new media university and Georgia Tech Georgia Tech is a member of edX and we aren't If you wonder why I inquired about prices for joining edX a few years ago And they said that prices start at two hundred fifty thousand dollars So that would have been roughly half of the project budgets So you can also this might be repeated So that's lots of videos Where my colleague Andy Stiegler explains a lot of things of gamification, but also involving a bit of accessibility But this view is from from Fimeo. Yeah, this link going to work this strange view where I can't see where I'm clicking Okay, and then yeah, it's on a different screen, of course Which direction This is going to be the wrong way. Okay Then there's another one Which I created about user interface personalization. It's also in edX. It's going to be repeated starting the 11th of February This is about basically fundamentals of creating web applications that can Automatically adapt to the user's needs and preferences. So it explains the basics of of our personalization it gives you Some support needs and preferences which aren't Jason's part to describe what kind of adaptations specific user would need and then you can as an exercise you can adapt either an example website that I provided or well, if you would like to use something else some can The last or the one bit last part is really just that task of adapting a website or web application so There's no a bunch of other courses one Was for example inclusive learning and teaching environments, which is really specifically for higher education institutions that want to know how to Better cater for students with disabilities accessible documents is mainly about office formats how Also PDF including PDF how to make that accessible. There's a course about customer mobile apps one about accessible websites assistant assistant allergies So screen readers might be fires But this is to know about them One cold cause for design innovation inclusive approaches, which is Well by but but how you can My support innovations by actually including people with disabilities in your design process The last one about a lecture disabilities inclusion. So if you're interested in these resources So they're on the MOOC app website. I can perhaps switch to that view anyway I don't know why the resolution is a bit the the yeah, so this is the navigation menu This goes to the explanation of what all the courses are and this is where you find The links to all the open education resources All carefully documented with a license and copyright because you still need to Acknowledged original author of course so So that's just basically from a presentation if you have any questions So the accessibility of the Materials, so we made so we make sure that every document is accessible that every video has Subtitles we can also download the subtitles etc. So that absolutely For Nick if you hadn't done that Yeah, also when we looked at platforms where to host the MOOCs so So whether the course are still available. Well, as I said some of these courses were MOOCs and So two were at X and they are still exist to run on future learn Well the content is still there, but I don't know whether they will be repeated So if you weren't registered before you can't access them at the moment for the other ones they ran on on basically the ear learning platforms of the project partners So they were available during the duration of projects, but they're not currently available as courses And not to the public at least so that's why it's important that these resources these OERs are still available So if anyone can create to take them and create a room course in the room platform Their own course, yeah, they can do that. That's the point So wait, so when you go to this page this decides for the introductory course and then you find So this for example have an accessibility glossary as a PDF and it's This is some Google Drive. Yes Fact if it's a document is on Google Drive, and it's if it's a video, it's going to be on the video Yeah, the resources are available
