Servicing Disability Needs
● Commands(voice, touchscreen, buttons) to look/hear node text in different formats.
● Easy access to viewing users nodes.
● Clear displays of misinformation/disinformation on 1Cademy for people to avoid.
● A possible contact for interpretation(sign language/translations).
● Aid in identifying how to differentiate between APA and MLA citation for reference nodes. This one in particular is important as those who are unfamiliar with citation/citation styles and have a learning disability can be easily stressed that any mistake in citation could be seen as plagiarism by them. Instruction on how to do these could be helpful in giving people with disabilities greater confidence in research.
● DOI links on references if possible so source material can be studied/looked at more easily and effectively. I find there are a lot of references that lack a link or require going outside of 1Cademy to find. I mention it in this section as it is paramount that people with disabilities/users get to the resources as fast as possible rather than being a labyrinthine process.
