Re: Feedback on COGA Design Principle "Use Chunks"

chair hat off, my opinion only.



1, this has changed  the design  requirement. Chunking in cognitive accessibility  might have a bit of a different meaning. Not to say your point is not good. but the failure examples had already breakdown difficult passages into more comprehensible pieces or smaller parts. This is taking it all together with white space and symbols (a next step). Do we want to merge them?



2. "Break down walls of words."  this is a metaphoric. not everyone understands them. I would use plane language to say what to do



3. We haven't decided to use persona quotes here. do we like this? (I often find them a bit patronizing).



4. Overall the structure is different. We had a plain text example instead of a list of cognitive functions as benefits. (we have a table at the end with the list of cognitive functions as benefits against each design requirement).

 This example has lots of sub headings (such as "clear design principle") Does the group prefer this template or the example that we are going with until now? Personally I think it clutters is up with jargon. Some web designers may like it but maybe it raises the bar. We need to include in content creators small content creators with one or two small sites.

Howdy COGA,

I'd love to hear your feedback.  Am I on the right track?  How could what I've written be improved?
