Sides for a talk on "Digital Life Beyond the Institution" given by Brian Kelly, Innovation Advocate at Cetis, University of Bolton at a seminar for the iSchool, University of Northumbria on 11 February 2015. See https://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/events/digital-life-beyond-the-institution/

The document discusses the history and principles of Web 2.0 technology. It describes how Web 2.0 enabled a shift from isolated web sites to user-generated content and social networking on online platforms. Examples are given of early Web 1.0 companies like Yahoo and Napster that later transitioned to Web 2.0 models by leveraging user participation to add value and build their databases. Potential effects of Web 2.0 principles on e-learning are explored, such as new collaboration and social features being added to learning management systems.

Many of the things accessibility advocates believe are out of date. Yes, the web industry has loads of myths about accessibility which we constantly need to battle. But some of the understanding of accessibility advocates is equally flawed. In this talk to a11yLDN 2012 I challenge some of the accepted assumptions many of us hold that I believe are really not serving us, or the disabled and elderly people we are trying to help, well at all. In their place I detail some more researched, more effective findings from which to continue to grow our influence in the web community. Find the original blog, and join in the discussion at: http://www.hassellinclusion.com/2011/12/accessibility-myths-2011/

The document discusses the business opportunities and challenges of blogs for enterprises. It outlines the "good" aspects like buzz monitoring, marketing feedback, and public relations monitoring. It also discusses the "bad" like public relations problems and competitive intelligence issues. Finally, it discusses the "wonderful" opportunities like engaging in conversations, influencing discussions, using internal blogs, and identifying thought leaders.

Slides for a talk on "This Year's Technology That Has Blown Me Away" given by Brian Kelly, UKOLN at Bathcamp on 21 July 2009.

The document discusses the evolution of the internet from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Some key aspects of Web 2.0 include user-generated content through sites like Flickr and Wikipedia, folksonomies using user-generated tags to organize content, RSS feeds to receive customized content updates, and increased interactivity through technologies like AJAX and social networks. The rise of these new applications and services represents a shift to a more collaborative "read-write" web where users are actively contributing content.

Welcome presentation given by Marieke Guy and Brian Kelly, UKOLN at Institutional Web Management Workshop 2009, University of Essex, 28 - 30, July 2009

The document summarizes a training presentation given by Jane Mackenzie and Stephen Catton from Jisc on October 21, 2013. It discusses Jisc's role in supporting education through practical tools, consultancy, and events. The training covered e-safety audits and policies, developing an ILT strategy, considerations around virtual learning environments, and demonstrations of online tools and solutions like Google Drive, Padlet, and Socrative. Attendees were asked to complete a survey and contact Jisc's Regional Support Centre Southeast for any additional assistance.

This document discusses how Web 2.0 tools can impact learning and the capacity to learn. It provides examples of various Web 2.0 tools like wikis, blogs, podcasts, and social networking sites that can encourage student engagement and collaboration. Research is cited showing students' prolific use of these tools outside the classroom and benefits of using them like taking more control of learning, expressing ideas in new ways, and facilitating collaborative work. The document advocates selecting tools based on instructional needs and ease of use to make learning independent of time and place.

BS8878 is a UK national standard created by the British Standards Institution to provide a framework for making digital accessibility and inclusion "business as usual" within organizations. It was created in response to changing technological, political, and legal landscapes to promote digital inclusion. The standard was written by industry professionals and disability organizations and offers guidelines for assigning responsibilities, creating policies, evaluating accessibility, and maintaining websites over their lifecycles to be accessible to all. While focused on UK law and culture, the core principles of BS8878 can be applied internationally.

The document discusses how to build an accessible personal website on GitHub pages, covering topics like layout, navigation, color, performance, and discoverability. It provides guidance on using responsive design, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, color contrast, page speed optimization, and social media integration. Screenshots and code examples demonstrate implementing techniques like semantic landmarks, ARIA attributes, dark mode/light mode toggling, and scroll to top functionality in an accessible way.

Video, transcript, files, and links available at: https://matthewdeeprose.github.io/objectives.html Synopsis How can IT departments sustain their accessibility efforts?

In this presentation, Tamsyn Smith and Matthew Deeprose will discuss early work on embedding accessibility within appraisal objectives.

Video, transcript, files, and links at: https://matthewdeeprose.github.io/powerBI.html Synopsis What can we do to make our Power BI reports more accessible? In this 20 minute presentation I explain the four principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and how they relate to the creation of Power BI reports.

Matthew Deeprose created guidance for staff at the University of Southampton on using unsupported tools. He developed an overview document and criteria for assessing tools. The overview explains that staff should check if the university already has a similar supported tool before using others. It also covers issues like data privacy, sustainability, copyright and accessibility to consider. Matthew drafted criteria like tools must be free-to-use without time limits, not require personal information, and meet accessibility standards. He shared the overview with staff for feedback to refine the guidance.

This document provides an introduction to keyboard navigation and accessibility. It discusses why keyboard navigation is important, who uses it, common techniques for navigating websites via keyboard, and guidelines from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) for ensuring keyboard accessibility. Key points covered include how to navigate using tab keys and shortcuts, guidelines for focus order, bypassing blocks, avoiding keyboard traps, and ensuring visible focus indicators.

The document summarizes the experiences and practices of the University of Southampton regarding Blackboard upgrades. They treat upgrades as formal projects involving multiple IT teams and following a structured methodology. They build detailed implementation plans and business cases to obtain funding. Key activities include thorough testing, keeping up to date on known issues, documenting fixes to reapply, and celebrating successes. The presenter emphasizes preparation, research, careful execution of upgrades, and learning from each experience.

With the rapid move to online teaching, ensuring equitable access to our learning environment has never been more important. Recent legislation has brought an accessibility requirement for public sector organisations such as Universities. How can we ensure that our Blackboard environment reflects our institutional brand whilst following accessibility guidelines? Customising the Blackboard Responsive theme for the Learn Original Experience continues to be a hot topic on the Blackboard Community site. We customise the theme both to improve the user experience, and to brand our environment with our institutional colours. In this session I will put recent legislative and regulatory changes that relate to accessibility into a global context and explain how they impact University platforms such as Blackboard. Using examples and developments from my own experience at the University of Southampton, I will provide practical advice and tips on what we should be doing when we customise our Blackboard theme. We all want our Blackboard environments to look great and appear congruent when viewed alongside our other institutional platforms. We also want to ensure changes we make are inclusive to our whole user community. I will demonstrate how you may check the accessibility of your own custom Blackboard theme and illustrate the application of a number of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to Blackboard theme customisation. I will also discuss how the work we do in this area can inform the accessibility statements we are required to create for our Virtual Learning Environment.

Is it possible to be both on brand and accessible? WCAG guides us on making our color choices accessible. We will demonstrate a simple and repeatable solution to share with your colleagues. Our innovative matrix concept will help YOU to determine accessible color combinations within your institutional brand palette. Many students, such as those who are color blind, may not self-identify as having a disability. Poor use of color in online courses can have a detrimental impact on certain groups of students, including those who are color blind or have a visual impairment. Likewise, most people find vibrating color combinations difficult to read. Appropriate use of color (especially when used to distinguish and organize your content) can benefit everyone and reduce the 'burden' of ‘reasonable adjustments’. However, we design our learning materials, we should ensure that when we use color we do so accessibly. A constraint that many practitioners must work within is their education institution’s brand color palette, which may not have been chosen with accessibility in mind. We will share a simple and easy to use approach that can help you use colors accessibly while remaining congruent and consistent with your institution's color scheme.

It has never been more important to provide localised, central, relevant, and up to date support and messaging within our Blackboard environments. This presentation is a practical guide to how you can use freely available tools to provide contextual, just in time support sign-posting staff and students to local support resources from within Blackboard Learn (original experience). As Blackboard administrators, learning designers, technologists, programme leads, and support staff, we often wish we could be alongside our users to say, “well in these circumstances we recommend using the feature in this way”, or “you could use that tool, but there’s a much more effective tool over there”, right when the intervention would be most relevant and timely. In current times we may also wish to highlight newly provisioned services and tools such as Blackboard Collaborate. Blackboard allows us to customise the language pack, but have you noticed that most users will just skim past plain text and get straight into clicking and submitting? Even when a user follows a help link, they may reach a generic help page rather than the bespoke institution-specific guidance that has been carefully curated to provide the most appropriate help, contextualised for an institution's Managed Learning Environment? In this session I will demonstrate a new approach for the Original Blackboard Learn Experience to provide proactive assistance to staff and students at the right time and in the right place. At the University of Southampton, this method resulted in significantly higher engagement with institutional support resources and has the potential to reduce support calls and encourage better Blackboard usage. I will show you how you can recreate this approach using free and open-source software. By the end of the session you will be eager to get back to work and start implementing the techniques I will show you.

With more than two million people in the UK living with a visual impairment and many more having difficulties with their sight, it is crucial that, when we create content, we make accessible colour choices. I will explain the importance of considering contrast when we use colour and share my own journey and lessons that resulted in the development of a method to make it simpler and easier to help my colleagues make accessible colour choices. If time allows I will demonstrate further real-world examples and solutions that you can replicate at your own institution.

The document discusses alt text, which is the written description of an image used for accessibility purposes. It provides an introduction to alt text and its importance for screen reader users and search engines. It discusses best practices for writing alt text, including providing enough detail to understand the image without seeing it and ensuring the text provides the proper context based on where the image appears. The document emphasizes that alt text is a critical accessibility feature and outlines guidelines for its proper use.

Presented at Bb World 2020. With the rapid move to online teaching in the current climate of COVID-19, ensuring equitable access to our learning environment has never been more important. When we customise the Blackboard theme (original experience) to align it with our institutional colours, we must consider accessibility. Based on my own experience at the University of Southampton (in the UK) I will share practical lessons and recommendations, of how to ensure your theme customisation complies with web content accessibility guidelines.

Sharing a new approach for consistent and accessible Blackboard course menu colour schemes specific to faculties, departments, or subject areas.

This presentation was used as part of the Digital Learning Connects webinar about Blackboard discussion boards. Half way through the presentation I went into a live demo, which you cannot of course see here. I'm sharing the slides more widely in case they are of use.

This document discusses various tools in Blackboard that can assist with blended learning approaches. It describes features like avatars, global navigation, notifications, mobile apps, gamification tools, discussion boards, wikis, learning objects, adaptive release, assessments, and the retention center. The tools are mapped to different learning behaviors like constructivism and socially situated learning. Screenshots and links are provided to explain how each tool works.

The document discusses a Blackboard training session that covered various Blackboard features such as tidying courses, blogs, wikis, discussion boards, groups, content features, mobile access, and accessibility tips. It provided examples and demonstrations of setting up course banners, menus, groups, adding content like tweets, enabling content review status, using adaptive release and learning modules. It also discussed best practices around copyright and paste formatting from Microsoft Office applications into Blackboard.

we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation
