RE: Team-side strategies for keyboard interactions

Thanks Sarah,

 

This absolutely does.

 

Thanks for letting me know about the bold parts. Once I am aware, I can query my screen reader for attributes info, otherwise I
could have missed it.

 

In fact some of the additional strategies you underlined below could be used as assessments. 

 

So my understanding is that in teaching ideas we could have:

- Avoiding conflicts is a difficult task

- It requires coordination among different team roles

 

And then we could have assessments like

- Students research commonly modifier keys used in operating systems and assistive technologies

- Students work with their team colleagues to avoid custom keystroke conflicts.

 

Thanks,

 

Best.

Hi Daniel, 

 

Apologies for missing yesterday’s meeting and for my delay responding to your email. Here are my comments on the points you raise
in your email last week on keyboard interactions: I appreciate that discussion may have moved on – but I hope this is still
helpful.

 

My comments in the earlier meeting related predominantly to the ‘teaching ideas’, following our discussions that identified a
specific learning and teaching challenge – that some keyboard short cuts will conflict, and students need to be able to learn how
to make safe/robust decisions in such instances. Thank you for your work on the draft text. It’s looking good. In addition, could I
suggest the following additions/edits to your drafted text? I’ve highlighted and emboldened the additions. Do let me know if you
need this in a different format? 

 

[[

 

*Reflect with students about keystrokes that are not part of standard keyboard interactions. For example, the use of letter keys
together with modifier keys to perform specific actions. Ask students to generate their own strategies, to share with the group.
Discuss and explain strategies that designers can define depending on the different team roles and responsibilities. This includes
researching commonly used keystrokes for complex interaction patterns, defining the keystrokes in the phase design, and working
with developers to implement such keystrokes.

 

  ]]

 

Specifically I’ve tried to work up the dialogic aspect of the teaching task, to stress that this is a group discussion – as this
will help students to engage more critically, and will hopefully ensure that teachers engage the complexity of the task also.
Hopefully this also reflects more strongly what I think the task force reflected as a group on the meeting of the 8th. I’m not sure
if this meets the usual protocol for how we articulate in “teaching ideas, but I hope a little detail helps with clarity.

 

There are a lot of other strategies that could be used, for example, asking students to pair up to generate their own strategies,
to promote reflection etc. but I’m aware we have limited space!

 

Does this give you what you need? I look forward to hearing your thoughts. 

Best wishes, 

Sarah

Hey Sarah,

How are things?

Back to our discussion on keyboard interactions, I have tried to capture your comments in

* I took a pass at learning outcomes to list keyboard interactions.

* In teaching ideas, second bullet, I added:

  [[

  * Reflect with students about keystrokes that are not part of standard keyboard interactions. For example, letter keys together
with modifier keys to perform specific actions. Explain strategies that designers can define depending on the different team roles
and responsibilities. This includes researching commonly used keystrokes for complex interaction patterns, defining the keystrokes

Does this capture your thoughts? What other strategies should we be pointing at here (if any)?

Thanks,

Best.
