Evaluating the Principles of Non-Excluding Design for Accessibility in Learning Music in an E-Learning Environment.

Nimmakayala, Rahul January 2024 (has links)
In recent years, global crises like COVID-19 have accelerated the trend towards digital and online learning, bringing significant benefits and opportunities for various educational fields, including music education and other artistic ventures. This rapid digital transformation has created new ways to teach and learn music, making it more accessible to a broader audience from the comfort of their homes. However, it raises an important question: are these platforms inclusive and accessible to people with impairments? This research addresses this significant gap in accessibility and ensures inclusive music e-learning environments. Focusing on people with visual impairments, we examine their needs and limitations when using e-learning platforms to learn music. By applying principles of non-excluding design, the study highlights key accessibility challenges in music education platforms faced by visually impaired users. Through a comprehensive literature review, qualitative interviews with visually impaired users and musicians, and a developer survey, we identify major barriers and perspectives associated with accessibility in software development. Our work includes analysing qualitative interviews and survey results to propose Web Accessibility Guidelines for musical e-learning platforms. Additionally, we develop a toolkit/plugin using these guidelines to enhance digital navigation and content accessibility, thereby improving the learning experience for visually impaired users in music education.

Nöden har ingen lag : En studie om designen av det offentliga rummet med fokus på offentliga toaletter / Necessity knows no law : A study of the design of the public space with a focus on public toilets

Tomasson, Amanda, Öqvist, Hilda January 2022 (has links)
Toaletten är ett viktigt element och en nödvändighet inom demokrati för att upprätthålla fri rörelse och representation av alla samhällsgrupper, vilket tenderar att överses från en planeringssynvinkel. Syfte med uppsatsen är att förstå hur designen av offentliga rum kan verka inkluderande och/eller exkluderande av olika människors fysiska behov, genom att undersöka tillgänglighet utifrån utformningen av offentliga toaletter. Frågeställningarna fokuserar därmed på kommunala tjänstepersoners arbete samt hur designen av offentliga toaletter tillgodoser olika människors fysiska behov. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån Norrköpings kommun. I uppsatsen har teori om intersektionalitet använts och begreppen inkluderande-, exkluderande- och universell design har haft en central roll. Empiri samlades in genom observationer och intervjuer, vilka analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultatet visar att Norrköpings kommun försöker tillgodose olika typer av behov, men att detta sker i samband med exkluderande designåtgärder. Det finns således svårigheter med att implementera inkluderande- och/eller universell design. / From a planning point of view, the toilets tend to be overlooked despite their importance in a democracy and for people's freedom of movement in society. This study aims to research how design of public spaces can include and/or exclude the physical needs of different people, by focusing on the availability of public toilets. The issue focuses on the work of municipal officials and how the design of public toilets fulfills the physical needs of different people, in the municipality of Norrköping. In the study, the theory of intersectionality and the concepts of inclusion, exclusion and universal design have had a central role. Empirical data were collected through observations and interviews and analyzed with a thematic analysis. The results showed that Norrköping tried to meet different types of needs, but that this takes place in connection with excluding design measures. Thus, there are difficulties in implementing inclusive and/or universal design.
