graphic Introducing TODS – a typographic and OpenType default stylesheet By clagnut.com Published On :: Sun, 22 Sep 2024 18:04:33 PST Introducing TODS, an open source typography and opentype default stylesheet. One of the great things about going to conferences is the way it can spark an idea and kick start something. This project was initiated following a conversation with Roel Nieskens (of Wakamai Fondue fame) at CSS Day, where he demonstrated his Mildly Opinionated Prose Styles (MOPS). The idea is to set sensible typographic defaults for use on prose (a column of text), making particular use of the font features provided by OpenType. The main principle is that it can be used as starting point for all projects, so doesn’t include design-specific aspects such as font choice, type scale or layout (including how you might like to set the line-length). Within the styles is mildly opinionated best practice, which will help set suitable styles should you forget. This means you can also use the style sheet as a checklist, even if you don't want to implement it as-is. TODS uses OpenType features extensively and variable font axes where available. It makes full use of the cascade to set sensible defaults high up, with overrides applied further down. It also contains some handy utility classes. You can apply the TODS.css stylesheet in its entirety, as its full functionality relies on progressive enhancement within both browsers and fonts. Anything that is not supported will safely be ignored. The only possible exceptions to this are sub/superscripts and application of a grade axis in dark mode, as these are font-specific and could behave unexpectedly depending on the capability of the font. In order to preview some of the TODS features, you can check out the preview page tods.html and toggle TODS.css on and off. (This needs more work as the text is a bit of a mish-mash of examples and instructions, and it's missing some of the utility classes and dark mode. But that’s what open source is for… feel free to fork, improve and add back into the repo.) Walkthrough of the TODS.css stylesheet You can download a latest version of the stylesheet from the TODS Github repo (meaning some of the code may have changed a bit). Table of contents: Reset Web fonts Global defaults Block spacing Opentype utility classes Generic help classes Prose styling defaults Headings Superscripts and subscripts Tables and numbers Quotes Hyphenation Dark mode/inverted text 1. Reset Based on Andy Bell’s more modern CSS reset. Only the typographic rules in his reset are used here. You might like to apply the other rules too. html { -moz-text-size-adjust: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; text-size-adjust: none; } Prevent font size inflation when rotating from portrait to landscape. The best explainer for this is by Kilian. He also explains why we still need those ugly prefixes too. body, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, address, p, hr, pre, blockquote, ol, ul, li, dl, dt, dd, figure, figcaption, div, table, caption, form, fieldset { margin: 0; } Remove default margins in favour of better control in authored CSS. input, button, textarea, select { font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; } Inherit fonts for inputs and buttons. 2. Web fonts Use modern variable font syntax so that only supporting browsers get the variable font. Others will get generic fallbacks. @font-face { font-family: 'Literata'; src: url('/fonts/Literata-var.woff2') format('woff2') tech(variations), url('/fonts/Literata-var.woff2') format('woff2-variations'); font-weight: 1 1000; font-stretch: 50% 200%; font-style: normal; font-display: fallback; } Include full possible weight range to avoid unintended synthesis of variable fonts with a weight axis. Same applies to stretch range for variable fonts with a width axis. For main body fonts, use fallback for how the browser should behave while the webfont is loading. This gives the font an extremely small block period and a short swap period, providing the best chance for text to render. @font-face { font-family: 'Literata'; src: url('/fonts/Literata-Italic-var.woff2') format('woff2') tech(variations), url('/fonts/Literata-Italic-var.woff2') format('woff2-variations'); font-weight: 1 1000; font-stretch: 50% 200%; font-style: italic; font-display: swap; } For italics use swap for an extremely small block period and an infinite swap period. This means italics can be synthesised and swapped in once loaded. @font-face { font-family: 'Plex Sans'; src: url('/fonts/Plex-Sans-var.woff2') format('woff2') tech(variations), url('/fonts/Plex-Sans-var.woff2') format('woff2-variations'); font-weight: 1 1000; font-stretch: 50% 200%; font-style: normal; font-display: fallback; size-adjust:105%; /* make monospace fonts slightly bigger to match body text. Adjust to suit – you might need to make them smaller */ } When monospace fonts are used inline with text fonts, they often need tweaking to appear balanced in terms of size. Use size-adjust to do this without affecting reported font size and associated units such as em. 3. Global defaults Set some sensible defaults that can be used throughout the whole web page. Override these where you need to through the magic of the cascade. body { line-height: 1.5; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures no-discretionary-ligatures no-historical-ligatures contextual; font-kerning: normal; } Set a nice legible line height that gets inherited. The font- properties are set to default CSS and OpenType settings, however they are still worth setting specifically just in case. button, input, label { line-height: 1.1; } Set shorter line heights on interactive elements. We’ll do the same for headings later on. 4. Block spacing Reinstate block margins we removed in the reset section. We’re setting consistent spacing based on font size on primary elements within ‘flow’ contexts. The entire ‘prose’ area is a flow context, but so might other parts of the page. For more details on the ‘flow’ utility see Andy Bell’s favourite three lines of CSS. .flow > * + * { margin-block-start: var(--flow-space, 1em); } Rule says that every direct sibling child element of .flow has margin-block-start added to it. The > combinator is added to prevent margins being added recursively. .prose { --flow-space: 1.5em; } Set generous spacing between primary block elements (in this case it’s the same as the line height). You could also choose a value from a fluid spacing scale, if you are going down the fluid typography route (recommended, but your milage may vary). See Utopia.fyi for more details and a fluid type tool. 5. OpenType utility classes .dlig { font-variant-ligatures: discretionary-ligatures; } .hlig { font-variant-ligatures: historical-ligatures; } .dlig.hlig { font-variant-ligatures: discretionary-ligatures historical-ligatures; } /* Apply both historic and discretionary */ .pnum { font-variant-numeric: proportional-nums; } .tnum { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; } .lnum { font-variant-numeric: lining-nums; } .onum { font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums; } .zero { font-variant-numeric: slashed-zero; } .pnum.zero { font-variant-numeric: proportional-nums slashed-zero; } /* Apply slashed zeroes to proportional numerals */ .tnum.zero { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums slashed-zero; } .lnum.zero { font-variant-numeric: lining-nums slashed-zero; } .onum.zero { font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums slashed-zero; } .tnum.lnum.zero { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums lining-nums slashed-zero; } .frac { font-variant-numeric: diagonal-fractions; } .afrc { font-variant-numeric: stacked-fractions; } .ordn { font-variant-numeric: ordinal; } .smcp { font-variant-caps: small-caps; } .c2sc { font-variant-caps: unicase; } .hist { font-variant-alternates: historical-forms; } Helper utilities matching on/off Opentype layout features available through high level CSS properties. @font-feature-values "Fancy Font Name" { /* match font-family webfont name */ /* All features are font-specific. */ @styleset { cursive: 1; swoopy: 7 16; } @character-variant { ampersand: 1; capital-q: 2; } @stylistic { two-story-g: 1; straight-y: 2; } @swash { swishy: 1; flowing: 2; wowzers: 3 } @ornaments { clover: 1; fleuron: 2; } @annotation { circled: 1; boxed: 2; } } Other Opentype features can have multiple glyphs, accessible via an index number defined in the font – these will be explained in documentation that came with your font. These vary between fonts, so you need to set up a new @font-font-features rule for each different font, ensuring the font name matches that of the font family. You then give each feature a custom name such as ‘swoopy’. Note that stylesets can be combined, which is why swoopy has a space-separated list of indices 7 16. /* Stylesets */ .ss01 { font-variant-alternates: styleset(cursive); } .ss02 { font-variant-alternates: styleset(swoopy); } /* Character variants */ .cv01 { font-variant-alternates: character-variant(ampersand); } .cv02 { font-variant-alternates: character-variant(capital-q); } /* Stylistic alternates */ .salt1 { font-variant-alternates: stylistic(two-story-g); } .salt2 { font-variant-alternates: stylistic(straight-y); } /* Swashes */ .swsh1 { font-variant-alternates: swash(swishy); } .swsh2 { font-variant-alternates: swash(flowing); } /* Ornaments */ .ornm1 { font-variant-alternates: ornaments(clover); } .ornm2 { font-variant-alternates: ornaments(fleuron); } /* Alternative numerals */ .nalt1 { font-variant-alternates: annotation(circled); } .nalt2 { font-variant-alternates: annotation(boxed); } Handy utility classes showing how to access the font feature values you set up earlier using the font-variant-alternates property. :root { --opentype-case: "case" off; --opentype-sinf: "sinf" off; } /* If class is applied, update custom property */ .case { --opentype-case: "case" on; } .sinf { --opentype-sinf: "sinf" on; } /* Apply current state of all custom properties, defaulting to off */ * { font-feature-settings: var(--opentype-case, "case" off), var(--opentype-sinf, "sinf" off); } Set custom properties for OpenType features only available through low level font-feature-settings. We need this approach because font-feature-settings does not inherit in the same way as font-variant. See Roel’s write-up, including how to apply the same methodology to custom variable font axes. 6. Generic helper classes Some utilities to help ensure best typographic practice. .centered { text-align: center; text-wrap: balance; } When centring text you’ll almost always want the text to be ‘balanced’, meaning roughly the same number of characters on each line. .uppercase { text-transform: uppercase; --opentype-case: "case" on; } When fully capitalising text, ensure punctuation designed to be used within caps is turned on where available, using the Opentype ‘case’ feature. .smallcaps { font-variant-caps: all-small-caps; font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums; } Transform both upper and lowercase letters to small caps, and use old style-numerals within runs of small caps so they match size-wise. 7. Prose styling defaults Assign a .prose class to your running text, that is to say an entire piece of prose such as the full text of an article or blog post. .prose { text-wrap: pretty; font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums proportional-nums; font-size-adjust: 0.507; } Firstly we get ourselves better widow/orphan control, aiming for blocks of text to not end with a line containing a word on its own. Also we use proportional old-style numerals in running text. Also adjust the size of fallback fonts to match the webfont to maintain legibility with fallback fonts and reduce visible reflowing. The font-size-adjust number is the aspect ratio of the webfont, which you can calculate using this tool. strong, b, th { font-weight: bold; font-size-adjust: 0.514; } Apply a different adjustment to elements which are typically emboldened by default, as bold weights often have a different aspect ratio – check for the different weights you may be using, including numeric semi-bolds (eg. 650). Headings are dealt with separately as the aspect ratio may be affected by optical sizing. 8. Headings h1, h2, h3, h4 { line-height: 1.1; font-size-adjust: 0.514; font-variant-numeric: lining-nums; } Set shorter line heights on your main headings. Set an aspect ratio for fallback fonts – check for different weights of headings. Use lining numerals in headings, especially when using Title Case. h1 { font-variant-ligatures: discretionary-ligatures; font-size-adjust: 0.521; } Turn on fancy ligatures for main headings. If the font has an optical sizing axis, you might need to adjust the aspect ratio accordingly. h1.uppercase { font-variant-caps: titling-caps; } When setting a heading in all caps, use titling capitals which are specially designed for setting caps at larger sizes. 9. Superscripts and subscripts Use proper super- and subscript characters. Apply to sub and sup elements as well as utility classes for when semantic sub/superscripts are not required. @supports ( font-variant-position: sub ) { sub, .sub { vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 100%; line-height: inherit; font-variant-position: sub; } } @supports ( font-variant-position: super ) { sup, .sup { vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 100%; line-height: inherit; font-variant-position: super; } } If font-variant-position is not specified, browsers will synthesise sub/superscripts, so we need to manually turn off the synthesis. This is the only way to use a font’s proper sub/sup glyphs, however it’s only safe to use this if you know your font has glyphs for all the characters you are sub/superscripting. If the font lacks those characters (most only have sub/superscript numbers, not letters), then only Firefox (correctly) synthesises sup and sub – all other browsers will display normal characters in the regular way as we turned the synthesis off. .chemical { --opentype-sinf: "sinf" on; } For chemical formulae like H2O, use scientific inferiors instead of sub. 10. Tables and numbers td, math, time[datetime*=":"] { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums lining-nums slashed-zero; } Make sure all numbers in tables are lining tabular numerals, adding slashed zeroes for clarity. This could usefully apply where a time is specifically marked up, as well as in mathematics. 11. Quotes Use curly quotes and hang punctuation around blockquotes. :lang(en) > * { quotes: '“' '”' '‘' '’' ; } /* “Generic English ‘style’” */ :lang(en-GB) > * { quotes: '‘' '’' '“' '”'; } /* ‘British “style”’ */ :lang(fr) > * { quotes: '«?0202F' '?0202F»' '“' '”'; } /* « French “style” » */ Set punctuation order for inline quotes. Quotes are language-specific, so set a lang attribute on your HTML element or send the language via a server header. Note the narrow non-breaking spaces encoded in the French example. q::before { content: open-quote } q::after { content: close-quote } Insert quotes before and after q element content. .quoted, .quoted q { quotes: '“' '”' '‘' '’'; } Punctuation order for blockquotes, using a utility class to surround with double-quotes. .quoted p:first-of-type::before { content: open-quote; } .quoted p:last-of-type::after { content: close-quote; } Append quotes to the first and last paragraphs in the blockquote. .quoted p:first-of-type::before { margin-inline-start: -0.87ch; /* Adjust according to font */ } .quoted p { hanging-punctuation: first last; } @supports(hanging-punctuation: first last) { .quoted p:first-of-type::before { margin-inline-start: 0; } } Hang the punctuation outside of the blockquote. Firstly manually hang punctuation with a negative margin, then remove the manual intervention and use hanging-punctuation if supported. 12. Hyphenation Turn on hyphenation for prose. Language is required in order for the browser to use the correct hyphenation dictionary. .prose { -webkit-hyphens: auto; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-before: 4; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-after: 3; -webkit-hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; hyphens: auto; hyphenate-limit-chars: 7 4 3; hyphenate-limit-lines: 2; hyphenate-limit-zone: 8%; hyphenate-limit-last: always; } Include additional refinements to hyphenation. Respectively, these stop short words being hyphenated, prevent ladders of hyphens, and reduce overall hyphenation a bit. Safari uses legacy properties to achieve some of the same effects, hence the ugly prefixes and slightly different syntax. .prose pre, .prose code, .prose var, .prose samp, .prose kbd, .prose h1, .prose h2, .prose h3, .prose h4, .prose h5, .prose h6 { -webkit-hyphens: manual; hyphens: manual; } Turn hyphens off for monospace and headings. 13. Dark mode/inverted text Reduce grade if available to prevent bloom of inverted type. :root { --vf-grad: 0; } @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { :root { --vf-grad: -50; } } * { font-variation-settings: "GRAD" var(--vf-grad, 0); } Not all fonts have a grade (GRAD) axis, and the grade number is font-specific. We’re using the customer property method because font-variation-settings provides low-level control meaning each subsequent use of the property completely overrides prior use – the values are not inherited or combined, unlike with font-variant for example. There are probably better ways of doing some of these things, and the preview page is rather lacking at the moment. Please let me know on Github, or better still fork it, edit and resubmit.

graphic Using Autobiographical Digital Storytelling for the Integration of a Foreign Student in the School Environment. A Case Study By Published On :: 2016-06-25 Immigrant students face a multitude of problems, among which are poor social adaptation and school integration. On the other hand, although digital narrations are widely used in education, they are rarely used for aiding students or for the resolution of complex problems. This study exploits the potential of digital narrations towards this end, by examining how the development and presentation of an autobiographical digital narration can assist immigrant students in overcoming their adaptation difficulties. For that matter, a female student presenting substantial problems was selected as the study’s subject. Data was collected from all the participating parties (subject, teacher, classmates) using a variety of tools, before, during, and after the intervention. It was found that through the digital narration she was able to externalize her thoughts and feelings and this, in turn, helped her in achieving a smoother integration in the school environment. In addition, the attitudes and perceptions of the other students for their foreign classmate were positively influenced. The intervention was short in duration and it did not require special settings. Hence, it can be easily applied and educators can consider using similar interventions. On the other hand, further research is recommended to establish the generalizability of the study’s findings. Full Article
graphic Creatıng Infographics Based on the Bridge21 Model for Team-based and Technology-mediated Learning By Published On :: 2019-08-21 Aim/Purpose: The main aim of this study was modeling a collaborative process for knowledge visualization, via the creation of infographics. Background: As an effective method for visualizing complex information, creating infographics requires learners to generate and cultivate a deep knowledge of content and enables them to concisely visualize and share this knowledge. This study investigates creating infographics as a knowledge visualization process for collaborative learning situations by integrating the infographic design model into the team-based and technology-mediated Bridge21 learning model. Methodology: This study was carried out using an educational design perspective by conducting three main cycles comprised of three micro cycles: analysis and exploration; design and construction; evaluation and reflection. The process and the scaffolding were developed and enhanced from cycle to cycle based on both qualitative and quantitative methods by using the infographic design rubric and researcher observations acquired during implementation. Respectively, twenty-three, twenty-four, and twenty-four secondary school students participated in the infographic creation process cycles. Contribution: This research proposes an extensive step-by-step process model for creating infographics as a method of visualization for learning. It is particularly relevant for working with complex information, in that it enables collaborative knowledge construction and sharing of condensed knowledge. Findings: Creating infographics can be an effective method for collaborative learning situations by enabling knowledge construction, visualization and sharing. The Bridge21 activity model constituted the spine of the infographic creation process. The content generation, draft generation, and visual and digital design generation components of the infographic design model matched with the investigate, plan and create phases of the Bridge21 activity model respectively. Improvements on infographic design results from cycle to cycle suggest that the revisions on the process model succeeded in their aims. The rise in each category was found to be significant, but the advance in visual design generation was particularly large. Recommendations for Practitioners: The effectiveness of the creation process and the quality of the results can be boosted by using relevant activities based on learner prior knowledge and skills. While infographic creation can lead to a focus on visual elements, the importance of wording must be emphasized. Being a multidimensional process, groups need guidance to ensure effective collaboration. Recommendation for Researchers: The proposed collaborative infographic creation process could be structured and evaluated for online learning environments, which will improve interaction and achievement by enhancing collaborative knowledge creation. Impact on Society: In order to be knowledge constructors, innovative designers, creative communicators and global collaborators, learners need to be surrounded by adequate learning environments. The infographic creation process offers them a multidimensional learning situation. They must understand the problem, find an effective way to collect information, investigate their data, develop creative and innovative perspectives for visual design and be comfortable for using digital creation tools. Future Research: The infographic creation process could be investigated in terms of required learner prior knowledge and skills, and could be enhanced by developing pre-practices and scaffolding.

graphic Towards Understanding Information Systems Students’ Experience of Learning Introductory Programming: A Phenomenographic Approach By Published On :: 2021-07-12 Aim/Purpose: This study seeks to understand the various ways information systems (IS) students experience introductory programming to inform IS educators on effective pedagogical approaches to teaching programming. Background: Many students who choose to major in information systems (IS), enter university with little or no experience of learning programming. Few studies have dealt with students’ learning to program in the business faculty, who do not necessarily have the computer science goal of programming. It has been shown that undergraduate IS students struggle with programming. Methodology: The qualitative approach was used in this study to determine students’ notions of learning to program and to determine their cognitive processes while learning to program in higher education. A cohort of 47 students, who were majoring in Information Systems within the Bachelor of Commerce degree programme were part of the study. Reflective journals were used to allow students to record their experiences and to study in-depth their insights and experiences of learning to program during the course. Using phenomenographic methods, categories of description that uniquely characterises the various ways IS students experience learning to program were determined. Contribution: This paper provides educators with empirical evidence on IS students’ experiences of learning to program, which play a crucial role in informing IS educators on how they can lend support and modify their pedagogical approach to teach programming to students who do not necessarily need to have the computer science goal of programming. This study contributes additional evidence that suggests more categories of description for IS students within a business degree. It provides valuable pedagogical insights for IS educators, thus contributing to the body of knowledge Findings: The findings of this study reveal six ways in which IS students’ experience the phenomenon, learning to program. These ways, referred to categories of description, formed an outcome space. Recommendations for Practitioners: Use the experiences of students identified in this study to determine approach to teaching and tasks or assessments assigned Recommendation for Researchers: Using phenomenographic methods researchers in IS or IT may determine pedagogical content knowledge in teaching specific aspects of IT or IS. Impact on Society: More business students would be able to program and improve their logical thinking and coding skills. Future Research: Implement the recommendations for practice and evaluate the students’ performance. Full Article

graphic Executive Higher Education Doctoral Programs in the United States: A Demographic Market-Based Analysis By Published On :: 2017-04-22 Aim/Purpose: Executive doctoral programs in higher education are under-researched. Scholars, administers, and students should be aware of all common delivery methods for higher education graduate programs. Background This paper provides a review and analysis of executive doctoral higher education programs in the United States. Methodology: Executive higher education doctoral programs analyzed utilizing a qualitative demographic market-based analysis approach. Contribution: This review of executive higher education doctoral programs provides one of the first investigations of this segment of the higher education degree market. Findings: There are twelve programs in the United States offering executive higher education degrees, though there are less aggressively marketed programs described as executive-style higher education doctoral programs that could serve students with similar needs. Recommendations for Practitioners: Successful executive higher education doctoral programs require faculty that have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in higher education. As appropriate, these programs should include tenure-line, clinical-track, and adjunct faculty who have cabinet level experience in higher education. Recommendation for Researchers: Researchers should begin to investigate more closely the small but growing population of executive doctoral degree programs in higher education. Impact on Society: Institutions willing to offer executive degrees in higher education will provide training specifically for those faculty who are one step from an executive position within the higher education sector. Society will be impacted by having someone that is trained in the area who also has real world experience. Future Research: Case studies of students enrolled in executive higher education programs and research documenting university-employer goals for these programs would enhance our understanding of this branch of the higher education degree market.

graphic Assessing the Graphic Questionnaire Used in Digital Literacy Training By Published On :: 2019-04-16 Aim/Purpose: To capture digital training experiences, the paper introduces a novel data collection method – a graphic questionnaire. It aims to demonstrate the opportunities and limitations of this tool for collecting feedback from socially disadvantaged participants of digital literacy training about their progress. Background: In training of digital skills for disadvantaged audiences through informal educational interventions, it is important to get sufficient knowledge on factors that lead to their progress in the course of training. There are many tools to measure the achievements of formal education participants, but assessing the effectiveness of informal digital skills training is researched less. The paper introduces a small-scale case study of the training programme aimed at the developing of reading and digital skills among the participants from three socially disadvantaged groups – people with hearing impairments, children from low income families, and elderly persons. The impact of the training on participants was evaluated using different tools, including a short graphic questionnaire to capture the perceptions of the participants after each training. Methodology: We performed a thematic analysis of graphic questionnaires collected after each training session to determine how the students perceived their progress in developing literacy and digital skills. Contribution The findings of the paper can assist in designing assessment of digital literacy programmes that focus not only on final results, but also on the process of gaining digital skills and important factors that facilitate progress. Findings: The graphic questionnaire allowed the researchers to get insights into the perception of acquired skills and progressive achievements of the participants through rich self-reports of attitudes, knowledge gained, and activities during training sessions. However, the graphic questionnaire format did not allow the collection of data about social interaction and cooperation that could be important in learning. Recommendations for Practitioners: Graphic questionnaires are useful and easy-to-use tools for getting rich contextual information about the attitudes, behaviour, and acquisition of knowledge in digital literacy training. They can be used in applied assessments of digital literacy training in various settings. Their simplicity can appeal to respondents; however, in the long-run interest of respondents in continuing self-reports should be sustained by additional measures. Recommendations for Researchers: Researcher may explore the variety of simple and attractive research instruments, such as “honeycomb” questionnaires and similar, to facilitate data collection and saturate feedback with significant perception of personal experiences in gaining digital literacy skills. Impact on Society: Designing effective digital literacy programmes, including engaging self-assessment methods and tools, aimed at socially disadvantaged people will contribute to their digital inclusion and to solving the issues of digital divide. Future Research: Exploration of diverse research methods and expanding the research toolset in assessing digital literacy training could advance our understanding of important processes and factors in gaining digital skills.
