Case studies of implementing BS 8878 (CSUN 2012)

This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility to focus on strategic inclusion and business benefits rather than risk mitigation. It advocates using the BS 8878 framework to embed accessibility into organizational processes and make all staff responsible. The framework addresses common challenges like costs, measurement, innovation constraints, and defines roles and responsibilities. It argues for choosing the right guidelines and building better websites through an inclusive design approach.

Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Director of Hassell Inclusion and lead author of BS8878) at UK-UPA 'Call to action: Designing inclusive user experiences' event London, Sept 2011. Covers: what accessibility is really all about (inclusive UX); how BS8878 helps organisations understand the business case for accessibility; how to embed accessibility in their business-as-usual; how different job roles each contribute to whether a product includes or excludes disabled and elderly people; how policies can facilitate or inhibit accessibility; now to make good decisions about accessibility; how to ensure you have the right user-research so your decisions are made on facts not assumptions; what BS8878 enables UX staff to do more easily; how hassell inclusion can help you move forwards in implementing BS8878

Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Director of Hassell Inclusion and lead author of BS8878) at User Vision, Edinburgh for Word Usability Day 2011. Covers: why and how the BBC approach accessible; how BS8878 helps organisations understand the business case for accessibility; how it provides organisations with a framework to embed accessibility in their policies and web design processes; how hassell inclusion can help you move forwards in implementing BS8878 (read the blog at http://www.hassellinclusion.com/category/bs8878/ for more help)

An updated summary of BS8878 from its lead author, Jonathan Hassell. Including: how it relates to international standards on accessibility (WCAG 2.0 and ISO 9241-210), usability and user-centred design; and how it allows you to embed accessibility concerns into production processes. It also provides information on how the Standard updates the older PAS 78 UK specification that it supersedes, and how it relates to work on the forthcoming EU accessibility procurement standard Mandate-376. More information, including case studies of organisations using BS 8878, detailed blogs on its use by SMEs, tools and training for applying the Standard, and news on its progress towards becoming an International Standard can be found at http://www.hassellinclusion.com/bs8878/

Why is eAccessibility always thought about in terms of compliance with standards like WCAG? What happens when you consider the needs of disabled and elderly people as a challenge to be more innovative? Inclusion expert Jonathan Hassell's QITCOM-12 gives examples of what can happen when organisations embrace innovation through inclusion. More detailed examples available from: http://www.hassellinclusion.com/2011/10/beyond-inclusion-and-reverse-inclusion/

Recent G3ict and US government reports suggest that current our models for encouraging ICT accessibility adoption are not working. Using examples from the UK, Canada's AODA, and the State of Texas, in this CSUN 2013 presentation Jeff Kline and Jonathan Hassell discuss whether a Policy-Driven Adoption approach might help.

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.

Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Head of Audience Experience & Usability) at IMS Global Learning Impact Awards, Long Beach CA; Unitech 2010, Oslo; Interagency Dialogue on Cloud Computing and Auto-Personalization, Washington DC; BCS HCI workshop on Accessibility, User Profiling & Adaptation, Dundee; and Access to digital content for education workshop, Tromsø in 2010. Covers: how disabled people might be excluded from digital participation; disabled people's use of the web, compared to what it could be; if there's so much to gain, what's getting in the way; how current inclusion models don't help; how the BBC have learnt from our past attempts to provide information on assistive technologies and accessibility settings of browsers and operating systems; how the BBC have learnt from our attempts to provide site-based accessibility personalisation; how we've researched other people's 'AAA' tools and found 5 guidelines which successful tools need to follow; how we used those guidelines to direct the creation of our new 'MyDisplay' accessibility personalisation system which we have rolled out across bbc.co.uk; what early users think about MyDisplay and how we are testing it more widely; how global collaboration initiatives like GPII can help adoption of such tools and enable more disabled and elderly people to participate in the digital economy

Presentation given by Jonathan Hassell (Head of Audience Experience & Usability) and Robin Christopherson (Head of Accessibility Services, AbilityNet) at Internet 2010, London in 2010.

Digital accessibility aims to provide equal access to information and services for all users by removing barriers. It impacts over 22 million Australians with disabilities, seniors, those with low literacy or computer skills, and others. The benefits include independence, employment opportunities, legal compliance, and business growth by reaching a wider audience. Accessibility best practices include considering accessibility in all work, starting small by focusing on alternatives, structure, and color contrast, and connecting with experts. The goal is for everyone to be able to access websites and digital services.

This document discusses labor unions and monopsony. It begins by outlining the history of labor unions in the United States from craft unions to industrial unions. It describes the goals of unions as seeking to increase wages and benefits for members through collective bargaining and strikes. The document then discusses the economic effects of unions, including evidence that union members earn higher wages but may be less productive. It also introduces the concept of monopsony, where a single buyer exploits workers by paying less than their marginal revenue product. The document uses graphs to illustrate how a monopsonistic firm determines employment and wages.

This chapter discusses perfect competition in markets. It begins by introducing lithium as an important input for batteries that has seen rising demand but falling prices. This is explained by the entry of new firms into the lithium industry. The chapter then outlines learning objectives and a chapter outline covering characteristics of perfect competition, how individual firms determine output levels, short-run profits, supply curves, and long-run equilibrium with entry and exit of firms. It also discusses how price is determined through the interaction of market supply and demand.

Numbers have various cultural superstitions around the world. In Thai culture, odd numbers are considered lucky while 9 symbolizes progress and wealth. In Chinese culture, 8 symbolizes prosperity while 4 is considered unlucky. These beliefs originated long ago and were passed down through generations, gaining popularity. However, superstitions can also result in wasted effort and money when taken too far, such as with lotteries. Rural areas of Thailand practice superstitions related to rain and agriculture, such as using cats to cry out and summon rain. These beliefs reflect the importance of agriculture and adaptation to the local climate and community.

The chapter discusses the costs of production for firms and how they vary over time. In the short run, when certain inputs like plant size cannot be changed, firms face fixed costs that do not vary with output as well as variable costs that change based on production levels. As more output is produced, marginal costs may initially fall but will eventually rise due to diminishing returns. In the long run, when all inputs can adjust, firms experience different costs based on economies and diseconomies of scale. The chapter aims to explain how production costs are related to the scale of operations.
