This is our institute at the University of Linz. It exists since 1991, the first fall with the email address and things like this. Here I have a quotation from our federal constitution, from the federal constitution in
00:22
Austria, that in a sense justifies the attempts that we are making towards support. It reads, nobody must be discriminated because of his or her disability. The republic, federation, federal countries and communities confesses to ensuring equal treatment of people with disabilities in all areas of daily life.
00:51
Based on this general but important statement of our constitutions, we have been developing our activities of support.
01:01
About the history of our institute, quite short, we began in 1991 with a model project from 1991 to 1994 based on the first ICCHP which was in 1989.
01:27
From 1994 to 2000 we were a department with name Computer Science for the Blind at the Institute of Computer Science at our university.
01:40
From 2000 to 2004 we were an Austria-wide cooperation between various universities in Austria for support of blind people. Then we got another university law that did no longer support inter-university cooperation.
02:09
We now confined ourselves to our own university again from 2004 until now. We are an institute at Linz
02:23
but we are not only supporting blind or visually disabled people, we are supporting people of any kind of disability. Students and service is the next section. About our target group it is called print disabled people.
02:50
Print disabled people are all people who have problems in using standard printed materials and who benefit from a better usability in accessing digital documents in alternative formats.
03:08
Under this category are falling blind and partially sighted people of course but also people with mobility impairments, also people with learning disabilities and deaf people and persons who are hard of hearing.
03:29
And finally a combination of the groups of disabilities mentioned. All of them we are supporting in our support centre.
03:45
The contact model is the following. Contact with students are necessary. Contact with teaching and administrative staff is important in order to get materials and lectures adapted for our students.
04:01
Contacts and cooperation with lecturers, authors, editors and publishers are important to get the materials in the right way. Spreading the thoughts and needs of integration into publishing industry is important in order
04:21
to raise awareness to get accessibility also into the world of books and publications. Integration, a task for universities. I think I shall leave this out and I shall leave the
04:40
floor to you. The last thing I still do, this is a very nice graphic, it's a pyramid. You are right, thank you very much. This is the pyramid, thank you for supporting. A model for servicing and supporting print disabled students.
05:10
We have several measures before university education. We do consulting in orientation, in decision what to study, check interests and abilities.
05:24
We offer mobility training for the students at the campus and we are offering training in social skills. During their studies we are offering service and preparation of materials. We integrate our students into projects and
05:41
internships within companies, cooperation with companies and after their graduation we are integrating them into the labour market. Roland, the floor is yours for a survey on our research activities.
06:07
Thank you Bernard. I want to welcome you to the last part of the last speech of this meeting here. I will start with the research of the institute. The main research is divided in three parts, e-accessibility, social integration and the mathematics and games.
06:24
In the e-accessibility we have the main part on the web accessibility. This means supporting the government, supporting companies, making the web pages, the web portals accessibility, showing them which is possible.
06:42
We also have a very strong cooperation with the company who is doing then the accessibility work itself. We also make courses for companies how they can develop web pages accessibility and so on.
07:04
We also work on digital libraries to increase the number of digital libraries and also increase the number of books and papers in our digital library.
07:21
In the social integration, as I already mentioned from Bernard, we try to support the students before, during and after their studies. We try to bring students not only in the technical point of view, not only for technical studies. At our university there are three big departments. One is in the technical area, one is in economics and the third one is in law.
07:46
In all these areas we try to support the students and also make documents for them, make the paper books to electronic books and so on. And the third part is mathematics and games. I think about mathematics, I don't have to tell anything more this day because there was already enough.
08:09
What I'm working in the department is the games accessibility. Try to make games accessible for all. There are already a lot of games available for people with special needs, but they are in some kind of niche and there
08:27
are games for blind people, there are games for visually impaired people, there are games that just control the so-called one switch games. And we try to bring them all together and also have created
08:41
an active games accessibility, which means bringing games accessibility into the mainstream. That game developers have some kind of tools, some kind of toolboxes, some kind of guidelines which supports them by developing accessible games, which will be the next step in games accessibility.
09:01
This is the area where I'm working in and we try to make the point in an EU level, but this was not successful so we have to go back to national level and try to make some project in this area. We also do some kind of teaching. We have lectures on accessible system development, about assistive technologies and design for all.
09:31
We have seminars about software engineering and pervasive computing with a special target on assistive technology. And of course you can make your bachelor, master, PhD work in our department.
09:49
We also have university courses where people from outside can learn about our technology. There is one about assistive technologies, it's called Assist Tech. And another one about accessibility web design, which are still running.
10:07
And we are also organizing the ICCHP, the International Conference on Computers Helping People with Special Needs. This year, in July, it was in Linz. In two years, because this conference is pre-annual, it will be in Vienna.
10:22
And so I have brought to you some announcements about the conference and also flyers about the institute. So if you're interested in some kind of cooperation or about how we interact with the students, just come and ask us or just take a flyer and email us or however you want.
10:42
So this is the end of the presentation. Thanks for your attention and if you have any questions, just feel free to ask. I think we have two or three minutes left. Thank you very much for the final part. Please, questions. I think we have some minutes left now.
11:06
Okay, in this case, thank you very much.
