“…Participants recognized the power in getting to know schedules and every time get entry to to getting to know sources as significant benefits of on-the-go education, as visible in Table 4. This echoes previous studies emphasizing the power and accessibility offered by means of cellular getting to know (Mack et al, 2022). The acknowledgement of more advantageous engagement with academic content material aligns with the affordances of clever devices, taking into account interactive and multimedia-rich gaining knowledge of reports (Tabuenca et al, 2021).…”

This take a look at explores the dynamics of on-the-go education facilitated by means of smart devices, specializing in participant demographics, clever device utilization patterns, alternatives for academic apps, and perceptions of advantages and challenges. A numerous sample of 300 participants spanning diverse instructional ranges and genders engaged in a quantitative survey. Descriptive information discovered that clever gadgets are regularly used for training, with E-Books being the most favored app category. Participants recounted the advantages of flexibility and accessibility, but highlighted restrained peer interplay as a challenge. These findings underscore the need for innovative approaches to decorate collaboration in on-the-pass schooling. The have a look at's implications inform educators, designers, and technologists in adapting practices for the evolving needs of modern inexperienced persons.

“…At the start of the interview, we reconfirmed consent to record and explained that participants could stop the interview at any time and choose not to answer any questions. Following the guidance of Mack et al [39], we worked with each participant to ensure the interview was accessible to them, for instance, by hiring captioners, ensuring the interviewer's face was clear for lip reading, and sending questions ahead of time. We started the interview by defining identity: "a person's sense of self, established by their unique characteristics, affiliations, and social roles."…”

Digital avatars are an important part of identity representation, but there is little work on understanding how to represent disability. We interviewed 18 people with disabilities and related identities about their experiences and preferences in representing their identities with avatars. Participants generally preferred to represent their disability identity if the context felt safe and platforms supported their expression, as it was important for feeling authentically represented. They also utilized avatars in strategic ways: as a means to signal and disclose current abilities, access needs, and to raise awareness. Some participants even found avatars to be a more accessible way to communicate than alternatives. We discuss how avatars can support disability identity representation because of their easily customizable format that is not strictly tied to reality. We conclude with design recommendations for creating platforms that better support people in representing their disability and other minoritized identities.

“…While online collaboration has lifted the burden of travelling to workshop venues, the inaccessibility of online collaboration platforms has restricted participants' engagement and contribution [14]. It also places the burden of adapting to the online collaboration space on the participants, which may present additional challenges for people who are unfamiliar with or faced with inaccessible collaboration methods and tools [14,16]. Digital accessibility has been discussed in SIGCHI and SIGACCESS publications for many years, with increased interest in the recent years on better design of online collaboration platforms [11,23].…”

“…Digital accessibility has been discussed in SIGCHI and SIGACCESS publications for many years, with increased interest in the recent years on better design of online collaboration platforms [11,23]. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the barriers to remote collaboration opportunities and the need for accessible online collaboration platforms [15,16]. Recent research has investigated the remote work practices and the impact of remote collaboration for disabled people where teams are distributed across space, time, and have different access needs [4,5,6,15,17].…”

“…The workshop will represent an avenue for group learning and reflection, where researchers will be able to connect with each other and begin to collate experiences with the goal of sharing learnings and best-practice advice. Ultimately, we aim for these shared experiences to become the base for developing an openly available repository of resources, advice, and case studies for other researchers in the SIGACCESS, and HCI community more broadly, seeking to conduct remote co-design research in a more inclusive and equitable manner [16].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced researchers to find new ways to continue research, as universities and laboratories experienced closure due to nationwide lockdowns in many countries worldwide, including conducting experiments, workshops, and ethnographic work online.While this had a significant impact on the majority of research work across SIGCHI, research relating to disability and ageing was most impacted due to the additional challenges of recruiting participants, finding accessible online platforms, and ensuring seamless participation while juggling platform accessibility issues, facilitation, and supporting participants' needs. These challenges were more extreme for disabled researchers. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers, designers, and practitioners to explore effective strategies and brainstorm actionable guidelines for supporting disability inclusive online research methods and platforms.CCS CONCEPTS •Human-centered computing~Interaction design~Interaction design process and methods~Participatory design
