author A5: The 'other' Accessibility Guidelines - the Importance of Authoring Tool Accessibility Evaluation in a Web 2.0 World By www.ukoln.ac.uk Published On :: 2008-07-22 Web content is increasingly produced by authors without extensive web design skills - whether by staff using CMSs, VLEs and courseware or by students publishing their coursework online. The challenge of making sure this content is as accessible as possible becomes much more significant, and inevitably a burden on the individual or institution. The quality of the authoring tool in supporting accessible content creation becomes critical - however support for the W3C's Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) by authoring tool vendors seems to be seen as a specific (and usually low priority) customer request rather than a fundamental quality of the tool. For institutions considering selecting a VLE, CMS or other tool that supports web content publication, how can they best express accessibility requirements so that the tool takes its share of responsibility for accessible output? And if existing tools fall short of ATAG conformance, how can the effect of this on the accessibility of content best be managed? The session was facilitated by David Sloan, University of Dundee.

Immigration, Authoritarianism, and Democracy (November 13, 2024 4:00pm) By events.umich.edu Published On :: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:32:03 -0400 Event Begins: Wednesday, November 13, 2024 4:00pm Location: Michigan League Organized By: Center for Emerging Democracies Immigration has become a polarizing issue across democratic, authoritarian, and transitioning contexts. Anti-immigrant rhetoric has become part of the standard playbook for authoritarian populists. Immigration policies in ostensibly democratic countries are becoming more restrictive, all while political conflict, war, pandemics, and intensifying climate change are leading to greater numbers of people migrating in search of safety and a better life. With immigration discourse taking up much of the oxygen in politics across the world, understanding the interconnections among immigration, democracy, and authoritarianism has become more important than ever. This roundtable brings together distinguished scholars to discuss how controversies surrounding immigration and immigrants have become critical for sustaining or upending democracy. Moderator: Nandini Dey, Research Fellow, Center for Emerging Democracies. Speakers: Rebecca Wai Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science Department, Freedom House Emerging Democracies Fellow, University of Michigan Erin Chung Professor of Political Science, Charles D. Miller Chair in East Asian Politics, Department of Political Science, Johns Hopkins University Alexandra Filindra Professor of Political Science & Psychology, University of Illinois-Chicago Silvia Pedraza Professor of Sociology and American Culture, University of Michigan Zoom webinar link Short URL link: https://myumi.ch/5yEEx If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us.

author is2k7: Weinberger on Knowledge, Metadata, Authority By wendy.seltzer.org Published On :: 2007-06-01T17:24:14-05:00 "It's too early for us to be realistic," David Weinberger says in closing is2k7. Where reality is binary, forcing us to categorize each piece of information, digital networked storage lets us add metadata along multiple axes. We shouldn't rush to cram it all back into real boxes. Instead, we can build new structures, sometimes adding metadata to digital contents, sometimes using the "contents" as metadata with regard to another question we're asking. That lack of hierarchy sounds threatening to some, perhaps including universities, who are accustomed to being the authorities. Online, we find new sources of authority, though we also have to learn and re-learn when not to trust both online and offline sources. The university's challenge, and all of ours, is to engage with these new sources of information and meta-information. The answer to "too much information" is likely not to shut off the spigot but to hand out better filters and filter-building toolkits (aggregators, search engines, databases, social network tools, and mashups). I'm headed to Everything Is Miscellaneous for more. Full Article
