Effective Experience – an Unconventional View!
Effective, adj. and n.
“a. Powerful in effect; producing a notable effect; effectual.”
OED – a1398 J. Trevisa tr. Bartholomaeus Anglicus De
Proprietatibus Rerum (BL Add. 27944) (1975) I. xvii. lxxxiv.
974.
Why Not Just Accessibility?
� You could conventionally think of this as accessibility.
� Accessibility connotations of disability.
� I don’t hold with this – access/accessibility is much broader
than disability.
� Effective = ability to produce an effect - regardless of how
that ability does or does not exist.

Access is for Everyone...
“While pedalling a Boris Bike I start
to shuffle in my pocket. Where is
that damn iPhone. Finally, I find it.
The next challenge is to get it out
my pocket whilst still navigating the
Humvee of the bike world.
Eventually, I give up. I pull over and
get my iPhone out. I look up the
nearest docking station with spaces
and get back on my way.”

But More Critical for Disabled People...
“For me computer systems are
everything. They’re my hi-fi, my
source of income, my supermarket,
my telephone. They’re my way in.”
Quote taken from an anonymous
blind user.

Facilitate Perceivability
Questions to think about as you design your prototype:
I Does your system convey information by colour alone but
without an alternate textual description?
I Is there a succinct meaningful name and label for each
interface component – including alternatives for icons, etc.?
I Can the user personalise the interface settings, including
different styles and sizes of typography, fore and background
colours, and default interface look and feel?
I How easy is it to find and interact interface controls and the
shortcuts too them?
I Have you provided keyboard focus and text cursors, and will
your system restore it’s previous state when regaining focus?
