This paper describes a study about how people currently use computer-based calendar applications and examines which features do not meet their needs and expectations. Survey data was collected from 88 participants based in 6 organisations using 3 dif... Read More about Towards more humane calendar applications.

Including users with motor impairments in design (2006)
Book Chapter

The general lack of awareness of the wider range of end-user capabilities often results in inconsiderate design that excludes many users, especially older users and users with disabilities. There is a need for designers to understand both the nature... Read More about The prevalence of functional impairment in Great Britain.

Design exclusion (2003)
Book Chapter
Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003). Design exclusion. In J. Clarkson, R. Coleman, S. Keates, & C. Lebbon (Eds.), Inclusive Design: Design for the Whole Population (88-107). London: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-0001-0_6

While inclusive design and universal design are commonly accepted as good design aims, this chapter discusses the merits of focusing on design exclusion. The concept of design exclusion is particularly powerful because identifying why and how end-use... Read More about Design exclusion.
