0. Work on your final project

You should work to meet the goals you set out in your Project Checkpoint. Make sure to leave sufficient time for validation and writing up your project.

1. Create Slides And Present Them

You will present slides in-class. Presentation time will be decided based on group formation and number of projects and discussed in class. Please ensure that your submitted slides are accessible and that you are making best-effort to present accessibly while staying on-time. Your slides should include the following. Note that update are slides you have presented before and new are new content.

  1. update What (at a high level) did will you do?
  2. update What is your evidence for why this is needed? Includes your first person evidence and your disability justice analysis.
  3. update Why don’t we have this already? To answer this you will need to look at what we do have and explain why your idea isn’t already solved
  4. update Provide technical details. How did will you achieve your goals? What software/platforms did will you use? What did will you do yourself?
  5. new Show us a demo!
  6. update How did will you validate your idea and what were the results
  7. new What are some things you learned from this effort? Why is this feasible (timeline, etc)

2. Create a web page

You will make an accessible, public-facing web page as part of the class site by providing us with kramdown markdown. You can check accessibility using the kramdown markdown editor.

Be sure to follow the writing guidelines put out by SIGACCESS for writing about disability

Your page should contain the following:

  • Text describing:
    • Abstract ~1 paragraphs: Present the promise/ obstacle/ solution for your project
      • What will the state of the world be if this project is completed?
      • Why is it hard – why does this not already exist?
      • What did you do?
    • Abstract: A plain language version of the same abstract
    • Related Work ~3 paragraphs: Talk about relevant work that closely connects with your project.
    • First Person Information: What data drove your selection of this problem? Who cares that you do this and why?
    • Methodology and Results– ~6 paragraphs : What did you do in your project- what did you design or implement? What were your metrics for success, and how did you validate? This should include at least one picture of your project, with alt text.
    • Disability Model Analysis ~3-5 paragraphs: Address the questions in this competency
    • Learnings and future work ~1-2 paragraphs (about 400 words): Describe what you learned and how this can be extended/ built on in the future.

Handin

Your final set of deliverables are individual as competencies are assessed and submitted individually.

  • Your public-facing web page markdown and any associated images
  • You will fill out something [tbd] about group work (including your role in the individual competencies submitted)

Disability Model Analysis

  • Specify the model you are using to analyze
    • Name one principal you drew from it. How does the subject fail or succeed to meet that?
    • Name one principal you drew from it. How does the subject fail or succeed to meet that?
    • Name one principal you drew from it. How does the subject fail or succeed to meet that?

    • Is it informed by disabled perspectives or is it a disability dongle?
    • Does it oversimplify?

Finding First Person Accounts

    • What first person account did you find and does it meet the requirements for a first person account described above
    • What are the barriers and opportunities the person described?
    • What technology did they describe using?
    • How might what you learned extend beyond this specific person, disability and/or technology?
    • A list of additional resources you used to answer these questions (first person accounts, research papers, etc). If you use Generative AI, you still need to check and cite relevant references.

Plain Language

  • Original text (unsimplified)
  • Simplified text
