Here are a couple of key takeaways we wanted to share:

On Designing for Accessibility

One of the most powerful insights was the idea that simplicity is key. Trying to add features for everyone can paradoxically make your interface or product less accessible. The best approach? Do less, but do it better. Simplicity provides an important pathway to improve accessibility.

Catch this and more insights from Heydon Pickering’s talk, The Folly of Chasing Demographics.

On Inclusive Co-Design

A common industry ethos is that Blind people are seen as recipients of design, not creators. Chancey Fleet is flipping that ehtos on its head! With an amazing mix of tactile design tools, Chancey has been bringing Blind designers together to co-create incredible outcomes. This shift is crucial for inclusive design, breaking barriers and rethinking what’s possible when sighted and Blind designers collaborate.

Catch the inspiring case study from Chancey and collaborator Lauren Race, Inclusive Methods for Co-design Between Blind and Sighted Designers.

The post Inclusive Design 24, 2024 Conference Recap appeared first on Say Yeah!.

Join us at the annual (free!) Inclusive Design 24 Conference (#id24) where Say Yeah CEO Lee Dale will be hosting two exciting sessions.

• The Folly of Chasing Demographics, in which presenter Heydon Pickering will challenge the conventional approach to designing for people with disabilities and provide insights into creating more inclusive and respectful digital experiences. 3 p.m. EST (19:00 UTC)
• Inclusive Methods for Co-Design Between Blind and Sighted Designers, in which speakers Chancey Fleet and Lauren Race will show how Blind and sighted designers can work together to bypass inaccessible design tools and create meaningful, collaborative design practices that ultimately reduce ableism in the field. 4 p.m. EST (20:00 UTC)

At Say Yeah, we’ve long been a champion and leader in the field of inclusive design (check out Lee Dale’s 2021 #id24 presentation, “There is no average person.”) and are the cutting edge of using AI to personalize eLearning (check out our latest developments: automated multi-modal elearning and multi-lingual elearning). So we’re always excited to get together with experts, designers, and advocates from around the world at this unique 24-hour online event to share insights and innovations that make digital content accessible to everyone. We’re big believers that eLearning that is inclusive and engaging for all your employees is eLearning that maximizes ROI and grows the capacity and capability of your organization.

What else you can expect at this year’s Inclusive Design 24 (#id24)

In short, great content on accessibility, intersectionality, gamification, UX design, and more. For example:

• How Many Senses Do You Think You Have? with Kaye Moors and Lizzie Hamblin (16:00 UTC)
