[Web4lib] Mobile and Handheld Technology Accessibility Forum On LinkedIn

Mobile and Handheld Technology Accessibility Forum On LinkedIn

 

With the ongoing focus on exploiting mobile and other handheld
technologies, this forum seeks to bring together mobile software
developers, researchers and others involved or interested in making
these devices and the applications that run on them accessible and
usable by persons with different disabilities. End-users with visible
and non-visible disabilities who use mainstream and adapted mobile and
handheld devices and associated applications are likewise encouraged to
contribute to the dialogue. 

 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) sharing best
practice, guidelines, and first-hand experience developing applications
on mobile/handheld platforms that are made to be accessible to users
with different disabilities; issues related to mobile learning
accessibility; information on the latest innovations in mainstream and
adaptive mobile/handheld hardware accessibility (e.g., cell phones,
smartphones, GPS devices, iPods); along with evaluation and feedback
from end-users with disabilities who are attempting to use these
technologies. As this area of accessibility evolves, it is expected
conversations will as well. 

 

As with any other public forum, members are reminded to exercise good
judgment and conduct when contributing, in terms of respecting both
workplace confidentiality that many are bound by, and the diversity of
opinions that will naturally be expressed here. 

 

This is an off-shoot of the Web 2.0 Accessibility Forum group here on
LinkedIn
