         College
Assess2012 technology trends
Computing developments since
2006 in homes & schools
At the end of 2012, students may
 be using 5 different “operating
systems” compared to 2 in 2008.
The Here and Now… 2012
   The Informal Learning Revolution promised
    by learning platforms & m-learning is being
    achieved through
       social networking,
       cloud-based tools & mobile apps
   Rise of the Social Reading concept
The Here and Now… 2012
   Universities are moving on to the cloud
       25,000 students and staff at the University of
        Westminster now use Google Apps Education
        Edition
   Mobile apps are being used in learning & to
    support students
   App-ification — From Applications to Apps
What are we doing to ensure….

That we support the learners usual
way of working?
That mobile & cloud solutions are
accessible?
Trends in Technology beyond 2012:
Trends in Technology beyond 2012:
New means of controlling tech
     Gesture based interface can inhibit or
      enable access
      e.g. using web-cams, Kinect devices to recognise
      sign languages
     Speech control becoming prevalent
Trends in Technology beyond 2012:
Digital identity for all
      being able to transfer accessibility
       requirements between web-enabled
       devices
      Cloud4All, GPII
Trends in Technology beyond
2012: Internet of things
 Not just text, now multimedia, QR codes,
 virtual reality
Trends in Technology beyond
2012: Mobile Devices
   Accessibility on mobile devices will only
    improve
       Demand led
       Legislation (508 review in US)
   Expectation that mobile devices will be used
    in learning
       BYOD – bring your own – Android still the most
        popular SmartPhone in UK
Tablets as an assistive technology
       - New story or old?
Assess2012 technology trends
Assess2012 technology trends
Is a Tablet a replacement for a
      desktop computer?


        Yes and no
Assistive Technology migrating to
tablets e.g. CapturaTalk4Android
The App-ification of software
   Average shelf-life of an iPhone app is 90
    days (2009)
   OS updates on mobile devices (and Mac)
    are frequent
   How can we support apps (including Mac
    app store purchase) over the length of a
    degree course?
Migration to web apps
   Now seeing a movement to develop HTML5
    web apps.
   Platform independent & more opportunity
    to be accessible.
   A.T. is already moving this way… Texthelp
    Web apps
eBooks – accessible tool or
    hurdle?
   Expectation of eBooks use now in education
   ePub3 will offer greater accessibility
    functions as it takes DAISY functionality
    mainstream
   But publishers still rule on DRM & TTS
    availability
   Dedicated eBook devices are optimised for
    ebook stores not the user
What is ePub3?
   New international standard for eBooks
   Incorporates DAISY accessible book format
    & MathML
   Can provide accessible books with
    synchronised audio, embedded multimedia
    & accessible maths formula
Windows 8 expected late 2012
   Windows 7 but with a tablet interface
   For desktop users, maybe no change?
   Still not known what the full impact of
    accessibility will be but VI support for touch
    interface will be built-in.
   Windows store will mark apps as accessible
Windows 8
Windows 8
Windows 8
Cloud solutions providing better
accessibility?
   Content and learning when you want it,
    where you want it
   But accessible?
   Accessible web developments such as the
    MyDocStore project bring cloud / eBook
    content to all
Cloud Solutions:
The MyDocStore Project:
   Using the Cloud & mobile devices to produce
    alternative formats
   Access & awareness of alternative formats
    needs to be at the consumer level;
   Ease of use of technology vital to engagement
    and up take;
   MyDocStore is: Azzapt a web service & an App
    for that!
       Cool
       Mainstream;
       Learner (consumer) led
MyDocStore Project feedback so
far:
                               This opens up a                The iPhone app
 This system will                                             will be so useful
                               whole world to
mean I am always                                                 when I am
                                 me if I can
  independent                                                    travelling
                              download books.



  Existing technologies anchor                     Some students who will
  the user to one computer…                      want it in a large font, some
    one PC in the corner and                       students may want it in
       you go to the special                     audio... just uploading one
  machine. By its existence, it                   document and everyone
   differentiates the students                   else can access it will make
         from the others                             life so much easier

Editor's Notes

  1. Technology expectations… What is the students usual way of working What technology have they used in school, at home? Technology enhancements…. How can we used technology to lesson difficulties and overcome barriers? to improve access and ensure equality for all = technology as an assistive tool
  2. 2012 student intact have been exposed to these tools at home & school throughout their secondary schools
  3. Blippar / Aurasma VR use to provide instructions and memory aids. QR codes to dow nload notes, access materials. placing QR codes on lecture slides or on a physical object quickly allows someone to access a related web page. QR codes could be used to deliver students personalised web pages as part of a learning activity or test. http://blog.dundee.ac.uk/accessibility/2011/10/qr-codes-and-accessibility/
  4. http://techcrunch.com/2009/02/19/pinch-media-data-shows-the-average-shelf-life-of-an-iphone-app-is-less-than-30-days/
  5. http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/15/microsoft-outlines-new-accessibility-features-for-windows-8-vid/
  6. Existing process for adapting formats: The hassle Laborious How to do it? Where to do it? Options to take? Which tool? Time Worst case -- print out; scan/OCR; listen So that often Reading Impaired people don’t bother – limiting their access to knowledge. EXAMPLE: eBooks have been around for a decade but they have only become a commercial success when the difficulties of getting eBooks onto a portable device were removed through wireless syncing and hassle free purchasing with the introduction of the Kindle. Now technology is no longer the barrier. Statistics on improving learner engagement through use of mobiles: Survey of 74 London Met students: 59% think it would be useful to access learning materials from their mobile . These students are also receptive to using their mobiles for learning, compared to 29% who didn’t. 56% of students in the survey thought it was important to have the ability to learn at any time and in any place.
