Improving web accessibility for older adults based on error detection strategies

Abstract

This contribution is important because it addresses the issue of cost mentioned previously. The error detection approach performs as well as observation but is less costly. Also, it scales very well compared to observation and gives much better performance than testing or self-assessment. Dissertation Organization Chapter 1 of this dissertation focuses on the introduction and organization of the dissertation. Chapter 2 is the literature review and discusses past and present literature in the area of computer usage and the older adult. Chapter 3 presents the software platform that was used to conduct our tests. The design of the research study is examined in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 has results and discussion. Finally, Chapter 6 provides the conclusions and thoughts about future research in this area.

Flattening methods for adaptive location-based software to user abilities

“…For The number of error taps was a number that the participant tapped outside the sensitive regions. We defined, based on the work of Taylor [101], that the sensitive region was an area on the screen such that when a user tapped on, it initiated or triggered another activity to execute.
