Self, self, self. And not in a good way. The multiple ways that rhetorical tools are employed is a little bit strangling, and reminiscent of postmodern texts so nicely excoriated in this month's Conversations across the Creek.

Re-enchanting the city
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/re-enchanting-the-city/1/steps/80729
As an instructional designer, AP Oya Demriblek is used to changing focus / scale from the individual human to the wider scope of human activities.
Thinking of the city, what scale should we look at levels of meaning?
my marker on the map: https://www.zeemaps.com/edit/OipJU3YRZ--MbRADvicgYuZT_qe9830i
Key terms:
'built environment' - street furniture --->
'liveable' - for all people
design features: personal voices of presenters, activity directly inspired by lovely video from Oya, full of the personal and persuasive fascination

Adobe Acrobat accessibility seminar, 3 March 2011
seminar at National Museum of Australia, conducted by Jacqui van Teulingen and Andrew Kirkpatrick
* seminar was for Techos, but the questions were so dumb, and hand-raising responses to e.g. do you use template, v. small
* look out for testing techniques for PDFs, end of March
* AGIMO recommends changing publishing processes so that business units know how to construct and check the documents
* and basically you need to consider why you are using any format
Australian Government leading the world on accessibility. Following on from the National Disability Strategy, Jacqui van T. group created the Web Accessibility National Transition Strategy - the Aust. Govt's implementation of WCAG 2.0
The goal is inclusive and accessible communities
Joint approach for all 3 tiers of govt was negotiated by Online and Communications Council
The lead agencies are helping solve 'mitigation projects', of which PDF accessibility is Number 1 - because the majority of complaints are about PDFs, and PDFs are the second most common format.
The key finding of the PDF study was the very poor document design of many documents, not the format itself.
* image equivalents
* understandable information
* proper identification of the language
* resizable text
* colour and contrast
Note that assistive tech needs HTML names
Slides to come - to show what else must have been done for the PDF to be accessible, not just pass the full accessibility check
* forget the 'Print to PDF' exists - this print method cannot access the DOM, so cannot make accessible PDFs
* alt text is in diff. place in Word 2007 (under 'Size')
* text box is read when it was created
* tables: row headings can't be indicated the way col. headings can: this has to be done in Acrobat
InDesign: set reading order in InDesign. Method to add - 'Agg untagged items' to structure; add new attribute 'Alt' (Andrew has requested this be added). Note that bullet list is not possible to handle for tagged PDF in InDesign, neither is table headings.
* showed us how to repair PDFs - crashes!
* Redaction - note to add '[redacted info] ' overlay text to blacked out blocks

Techniques for WCAG 2.0

What are the areas that need attention?

* understandable information
* proper identification of the language
* resizable text
* colour and contrast
Learned about
* the role map in Acrobat (mapping styles to tags)Note that assistive tech needs HTML names

journal on dialogue and discourse
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:28:20
From: Jonathan Ginzburg [jonathan.ginzburg@kcl.ac.uk]
Subject: Dialogue and Discourse: A New Int'l Journal
We are happy to announce the launch of a new international journal,
"Dialogue and Discourse."
http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org/
"Dialogue and Discourse" reflects the surge of interest in the analysis of
language 'beyond the single sentence,' in discourse (i.e., text, monologue)
and dialogue, from a formal, computational, or experimental perspective, as
reflected in the wide range of work presented at the SEMDIAL
(http://www.illc.uva.nl/semdial/) and SIGDIAL conferences
(http://www.sigdial.org/), and various other forums. "Dialogue and
Discourse" will be the first journal devoted to a wide dissemination of
such work.
Our aim is to publish:
* the best research in the area of dialogue and discourse (as specified in
our Aims and Scope, http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org/aims.html).
* in a timely fashion (we are committed to achieving a mean time of 3
months between submission and decision).
* a journal open to interested readers everywhere (open access, online).
We are part of the e-journal initiative of the Linguistic Society of
America:
http://elanguage.net/home.php
Articles will be published online as soon as they have been accepted. Each
year, a hardcopy volume, collecting all articles of the year will be
published by CSLI Publications, Stanford.
The journal can be found on the following two sites, each of which provides
immediate access to a submission portal and to available articles:
1.) http://elanguage.net/journals/index.php/dad/index
2.) http://www.dialogue-and-discourse.org
As with any journal, the two most important resources are its contributors
and its readers. The journal is open for submissions and we urge you to
consider submitting your work on any topic relevant to Dialogue and
Discourse. Our first articles should start appearing within the next two
months.
