Older adults consistently reject digital technology even when designed to be accessible and trustworthy.
New mothers can experience social exclusion, particularly during the early weeks when infants are solely dependent on their mothers. We used ethnographic methods to investigate whether technology plays a role in supporting new Our research identified two core themes: (1) need improve confidence as mother; and (2) be more than \'18just' mother. reflect these findings both terms of those interested designing applications services for motherhood also wider CHI community.

Over 100 top-traffic and government websites from the United States Kingdom were examined for evidence of changes on accessibility indicators over 14-year period 1999 to 2012, longest studied date. Automated analyses WCAG 2.0 Level A Success Criteria found high percentages violations overall. Unlike more circumscribed studies, however, these sites exhibited improvements years a number indicators, with being less likely than topsites have violations. Examination causes success failure...
Two experiments were conducted on short-term recall of printed English words by deaf signers American Sign Language (ASL). Compared with hearing subjects, subjects recalled significantly fewer when ordered was required, but not free required. Deaf tended to use a speech-based code in probed for order, and the greater reliance code, more accurate recall. These results are consistent hypothesis that facilitates retention order information.
When today's young adults become 'older adults' will they exhibit difficulties with technology that appear to characterize the current older generation? This paper is intended begin a discussion of experience as related aging. The goal challenge some existing characterizations Web users and consider implications for future. Are an inescapable fact aging? Or are there factors serve equip future generations skills erase or lessen these difficulties?
Amongst older adults, recent evidence suggests the most commonly stated reason for non-adoption of digital technologies is a lack interest, rather than affordability or difficulty. This directly impacts upon design community, both in terms we such groups to adopt, and methods use exploiting untapped creativity innovation amongst people who are not particularly interested outcome. paper explores issues technology non-acceptance reports on work designed incorporate values adults within...
Older adults frequently deploy the concept of distrust when discussing digital technologies, and it is tempting to assume that largely responsible for reduced uptake by older witnessed in latest surveys technology use. To help understand impact on adoption behavior, we conducted focus groups with exploring how, what circumstances, effect articulate technologies. Our findings indicate not especially relevant adults’ practical decision making around (non-)use. The our study used language open...
Including older adults as full stakeholders in digital society.
Web accessibility is an important goal. However, most approaches to its attainment are based on unrealistic economic models in which content developers required spend too much for they receive little. We believe this situation due, part, the overly narrow definitions given both those who stand benefit from enhanced access and what meant by access. In paper, we take a broader view, discussing complementary approach that costs less provides greater advantages larger community of users. While...

This paper presents a unique approach to undergraduate teaching in which accessibility topics are completely integrated throughout the curriculum, treating not as separate topic, but rather an integral part of design and development. Means accomplishing this integration entire four-year curriculum presented. We also describe how our expertise accessible has extended beyond education computer science engineering students include Web content authors across campus.

In this paper we discuss the open source process as it relates to accessibility software. Open is a development model that has shown considerable benefits in number of application areas. However nature tools and intended users such software products raise issues must be addressed by developer before encounter real world contexts. process, how functions, motivations with regards participation developers self-report. We then explain impact these elements they relate adaptive use some specific...
Touchscreens are pervasive in mainstream technologies; they offer novel user interfaces and exciting gestural interactions. However, to interpret distinguish between the vast ranges of inputs, devices require users consistently perform interactions inline with predefined location, movement timing parameters gesture recognizers. For people variable motor abilities, particularly hand tremors, performing these input gestures can be extremely challenging impose limitations on possible make...
In this forum we celebrate research that helps to successfully bring the benefits of computing technologies children, older adults, people with disabilities, and other populations are often ignored in design mass-marketed products. --- Juan Pablo Hourcade, Editor
With elderly citizens becoming an increasingly large proportion of the population in many countries, social as well economic considerations suggest that they must be considered development current and future technologies. This paper addresses issues Internet access, discusses a research project designed to make web more usable by citizens. uses proxy server transcode pages according user-specified preferences capabilities. Users access usual, with no specialized hardware required.
