PROJECT
\n1: Universal Design and Access, <\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n

Spotlight:
\nAccess Legibility in Bulgaria<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n
Due on Turnitin by Tuesday,
\nJune 1<\/span>3<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

TL; DR: <\/span><\/b>Review a 3-D model of a cool Bulgarian museum and build an
\naccessibility user guide and\/or evaluate the museum website for accessibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Directions<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Recalling the work you completed for the Second Making
\nConnections<\/i> activity, this option asks you to virtually explore a famous
\nBulgarian museum: <\/span>The National Archaeological
\nInstitute with Museum<\/span><\/a>. 
\n<\/span>Since you will not be able to visit the museum in person. Project 1 is
\nintentionally designed to be a remote activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Option 1-
\nMuseum Accessibility<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

In this option, you will examine the museum\u2019s embedded 3-D tour
\nand review the brick-and-mortar<\/i> museum for accessibility as you begin to
\nbuild an Access Legibility<\/i> user guide. (For a brief overview of the
\nmuseum exterior and surrounding areas, you can also view the S&C video <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> @ min <\/span>4:52.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

1.     
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Observe<\/span><\/b>: Using the 3D tour of <\/span>The National
\nArchaeological Institute with Museum<\/span><\/a>, make a list
\nof 3 accessibility features<\/i> you observe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Be sure to note the aspects that you believe to be \u201cworking.\u201d You
\ncan also make note of aspects that you are uncertain about and\/or aspects that
\nappear to be \u201cnot working.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Sample Observation: I notice that the entrance from the street
\nto the museum uses a wide, slightly sloped pathway rather than stairs.  <\/span>This is \u201cworking\u201d as it provides access for
\nthose who have mobility disabilities and\/or use mobility equipment. (N.
\nArmstrong)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

2.     
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Recommendation<\/span><\/b>: In the style of a travel review, w<\/span>rite a 250-400 word review of the museum <\/span>(specifically commenting on aspects of Universal Design whenever
\npossible). Briefly give an overview of the location (feel free to properly cite
\nthe 3-D tour) and then provide a list of 3-5 accessibility features that you
\nobserve.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Sample of overview + descriptions here: <\/span>Hilltop Hideaway: Accessibility for disabled<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

3.     
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Question<\/span><\/b>: Ask 3 questions about accessibility.  <\/span>The point here is to draw out information
\nthat does not appear to be available for disabled visitors to the museum. Our
\nwork here is intentional: to foster inclusion and visibility of the disability
\ncommunity by asking explicit questions and contributing to access legibility<\/i>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Sample Question: \u201cWhile the<\/i> entrance from the street to
\nthe museum uses a wide, slightly sloped pathway, I notice that there are 2
\nstairs between the foyer and the main entrance to the museum.  <\/span>Is there an alternate way to enter the museum
\n(i.e. a ramp and\/or elevator)? (N. Armstrong)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Option 2 \u2013
\nWebsite Accessibility<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

In this option, you will examine the museum\u2019s embedded 3-D tour and
\nreview the museum website <\/i>for accessibility, relying on the principles
\nof Universal Design (as you currently understand them) as your guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

1.      <\/span><\/span><\/span>Observe<\/span><\/b>: Using the 3D tour of <\/span>The National Archaeological Institute with Museum<\/span><\/a>, focus on the museum website make a list of 3 accessibility
\nfeatures<\/i> you observe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Be sure to note the aspects that you believe to be \u201cworking.\u201d You
\ncan also make note of aspects that you are uncertain about and\/or aspects that appear
\nto be \u201cnot working.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00b7      
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Sample Observation: I notice
\nthat the 3D tour does not provide an audio description. This is \u201cnot working\u201d
\nas it does not provide access for users who are blind\/low vision. (N.
\nArmstrong)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

2.      <\/span><\/span><\/span>Review<\/span><\/b>: In the style of an open letter,
\nw<\/span>rite a 250-400 word review of the museum
\nwebsite and its access features, highlighting the strengths and\/or weakness
\nthat you observe and <\/span>specifically commenting on aspects
\nof Universal Design whenever possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

3.      <\/span><\/span><\/span>Recommend<\/span><\/b>: Offer 3 recommendations
\nabout accessibility that you believe would enhance the Museum website\u2019s
\nusability.  <\/span>The point here is to highlight
\ninformation that does not appear to be available for disabled visitors to the
\nmuseum. Our work here is intentional: to foster inclusion and visibility of the
\ndisability community by recommending explicit actions and contributing to access
\nlegibility<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7       <\/span><\/span><\/span>Sample Recommendation: \u201cAdding audio descriptions and captions
\nto the 3-D tour would provide greater user friendliness and to the website and
\nincrease accessibility by ensuring \u2018equitable use\u2019.\u201d (N. Armstrong)<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
