DESCRIPTION:Ludic design for Accessibility
URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.csa.iisc.ac.in/newweb/event/95/ludic-design-for-accessibility/
SUMMARY:Technology solutions for accessibility have long been created using a narrow utilitarian lens, especially in the global south due to the multi-dimensional challenges and resource constraints.  We propose an alternate design methodology called the Ludic Design for Accessibility (LDA) that puts play and playfulness at the center of all assistive technology design and use.  We have been exploring the application of this methodology in developing solutions for diverse disabilities using a range of technologies. In this talk I will focus on the application of this methodology to the following challenge and the lessons being learnt:  introducing digital skills and computational thinking to  children in schools for the blind in India starting at grade 2.
