UX in Education Multiplied
Ben Holliday, Chief Design Officer; and Tash Willcocks, Head of Learning Design, TPXimpact
In this keynote session, Ben Holliday and Tash Willcocks will introduce themes for the day, focusing on how UX can help us to deliver impact through digital transformation in Education. The session will focus on how we lead as individuals in our institutions. It will explore what needs to change, and how we need to work together across our systems, teams and organisations. We know we face difficult challenges, but through shared power, leadership and understanding, we can focus together on how Higher Education can achieve more with digital transformation in the future.
Building bridges into accessibility research
Ayala Gordon, Associate Director for Digital User Experience and Sara Cunha, Senior User Researcher, University of Southampton
How do you build a bridge into the world of inclusive research?
When it comes to the topic of inclusive design, you often learn about the 'why' but no one tells you about the 'how'. We know accessibility needs to be at the core of what we do, but how do you gain access to users with access needs in the first place? How do you build it into your Research Operations processes in a consistent and ethical way?
In this talk, Ayala and Sara will share some lessons learnt when it comes to setting up accessibility research.
