The data provided here was gathered by mapping identical or equivalent settings relating to accessibility across three different smartphone devices, namely: the Android, iOS and Windows Phones. This was to provide core settings that if tested a comparison could be made across all three devices.</span

Automatically evaluating the mobile web accessibility of Higher Education electronic texts for print impairments
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to investigate how to automatically evaluate the mobile web accessibility of Higher Education (HE) electronic texts for those with print impairments. The outcome is a master key component referred to as accessibility metadata. This unlocks hidden information that can be presented in human readable form and provides a means to automatically assess the accessibility support offered by mobile device settings, mobile browsers, ereader applications and downloadable formats. This process involves an academic or student searching for, finding, downloading, navigating and reading an electronic text while using a Higher Education Institute (HEI) library web portal on a mobile device. Two research questions are addressed using expert reviews. RQ1: determines four physical and sensory control categories, namely: visual, audio, touch and speech that support automatic evaluation. This also incorporates issues arising for those with dyslexia a form of cognitive impairment. The control categories analysed against user tasks, specific to searching for, finding, downloading, navigating and reading HE electronic texts provides the basis to answer RQ2. The latter investigates how automatic evaluation is achieved through the production of an instrument that provides Barrier Walkthrough (BW) success criteria. This criteria enables a specification to be written for a mobile web accessibility evaluation tool that is incorporated into a wireframe for four mobile web applications and a web service. In the future, the framework can be repurposed to other sectors, from pre‐school tablet content to the use of adaptive mobile technologies by older adults who may experience age‐related disabilities

Control and Filtering for Discrete Linear Repetitive Processes with H infty and ell 2--ell infty Performance
No full textRepetitive processes are characterized by a series of sweeps, termed passes, through a set of dynamics defined over a finite duration known as the pass length. On each pass an output, termed the pass profile, is produced which acts as a forcing function on, and hence contributes to, the dynamics of the next pass profile. This can lead to oscillations which increase in amplitude in the pass to pass direction and cannot be controlled by standard control laws. Here we give new results on the design of physically based control laws for the sub-class of so-called discrete linear repetitive processes which arise in applications areas such as iterative learning control. The main contribution is to show how control law design can be undertaken within the framework of a general robust filtering problem with guaranteed levels of performance. In particular, we develop algorithms for the design of an H? and dynamic output feedback controller and filter which guarantees that the resulting controlled (filtering error) process, respectively, is stable along the pass and has prescribed disturbance attenuation performance as measured by and – norms
Teaching Digital Methods:Interview with Richard Rogers
No full textRichard Rogers is the Director of the Digital Methods Initiative, one of Europe’s leading Internet studies research groups. He is Professor of New Media and Digital Culture in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam and Academic Director of the Netherlands Research School for Media Studies. Rogers is author of Information Politics on the Web(MIT Press, 2004), Digital Methods (MITPress, 2013) and Doing Digital Methods (Sage, 2019). In this interview, originally conducted for The Pedagogy of Methodological Learning study (Nind & Lewthwaite, 2018) and updated for its publication in Diseña, Rogers speaks about the teaching philosophy behind digital methods, including a particular approach to learning about information design for the humanities and social sciences. He also discusses how he repurposes certain formats traditionally associated with computer science (hackathons) for digital meth-ods ‘data sprints’

Classic accessibility checks fail e-readers
No full textEvaluations undertaken for digital materials and technologies that consider accessibility and ease of use for the type of resource – device, software or digital content – tend to be assessed in isolation. In doing so they exclude the importance of the interrelated aspects of accessing eBooks, failing to support the needs of those with print disabilities: such as visual impairment; dyslexia; and/or physical difficulties. Each individual embarking on the process of reading digital texts must: choose an eReading device or application; navigate and access the eBook market-place; decide on or by choice of device or software, accept a type of format; and then interact with the eContent. This paper aims to illustrate how we, by combining a group of accessibility standards, guidelines and criteria, evaluate these facets of eText accessibility using a single review method. The combination of evaluation scores with descriptions has the potential to help users, those supporting the users and those providing or developing content to gain an understanding of accessibility issues that may arise. Since no accessibility guidelines exist specifically for mobile eReader applications, this paper identifies a framework for user-centred accessibility criteria, incorporating all aspects of eReading that could enhance existing guidelines
