Cardoso, C., Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003, March). Identifying design exclusion: a review of assessment methods. Presented at International conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

It is often the case that informal and intuitive approaches to usability evaluation produce designs that overlook the needs, wants and aspirations of a wide range of consumers across diverse populations. The result is people of all ages being disadva... Read More about Identifying design exclusion: a review of assessment methods.

Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices (2003)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., & Clarkson, J. (2003, March). Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices. Presented at International Conference on Inclusive Design and Communications (INCLUDE 2003), London, UK

It is known that many people are being excluded unnecessarily from using products and services and that this exclusion often arises because the designers have not taken the end-users into account fully. There are clear knowledge gaps that need to be... Read More about Supporting the adoption of inclusive design practices.
