++++++ DESIGN FOR ALL IN ICT ++++++++
Middlesex University Summer School, 17 to 21 July 2006
Accessibility of information communication technologies including the internet and interactive TV are hot topics within the EU. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure that information communication technologies such as internet services and interactive TV are accessible to all. It is critical to business success that ICT systems meet new EU legislation intended to remove discriminatory barriers to access, and that valuable opportunities of designing for a diverse and rapidly ageing population are recognised.
This Summer School course provides an understanding of the needs of disabled people and older people, and knowledge of the legislation and standardisation around the world that requires software, hardware and electronic systems to be designed in an accessible way.
Gill Whitney who is leading the course is Chair of the European Design-for-all and Assistive Technology Standardisation Co-ordination Group (DATSCG) and Centre Head of Collaborative International Research Centre for Universal Access (CIRCUA) at Middlesex University.
This course will be taught by members of CIRCUA which is recognised as the UK National Contact Centre for The European Design for ALL e-Accessibility Network (EDeAN)
Location: Middlesex University, Trent Park Campus, Bramley Road, London, N14 4YZ
Fees: £210 for applications received before the 23 May 2006 (£230 after this date)
