Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking keynote address from the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST'21) that challenges conventional approaches to accessibility technology design. Delve into the concept of Ludic Design for Accessibility (LDA), a methodology that places play and playfulness at the forefront of assistive technology development. Examine how this approach can transform the creation of accessibility solutions, particularly in the Global South, by moving beyond purely functional outcomes and sterile cost-benefit analyses. Learn about ongoing work with visually impaired children and teachers in Indian schools for the blind, conducted in partnership with the Vision Empower Trust. Gain insights into the unique factors that make LDA especially relevant in addressing accessibility challenges in resource-constrained environments, while recognizing its universal applicability in assistive technology design.
