This Google site is designed as a sandbox for beta tests of ideas, interactions, and functions.

It is a companion site to http://aeoliansolutions.com/

Sub sections of this site currently present formative ideas for Draft work on several projects:

  1. Early videos for Accessible MOOC
  2. A Virtual Focus Group for the Bahá'í Faith
  3. The development of formative Personas and Scenarios of Use for the Georgia Alliance for Inclusive Technologies (GAIT)
  4. Resource knowledge-base for developing accessible resources (Beta!)

Early videos for Accessible MOOC

link to Overview.

Focus Group for the Bahá'í Faith

The initial use is to solicit comments from a Bahá'í Focus Group on ideas for presentations of the Bahá'í Faith to specific audiences. The assumption is that many generic presentations have been created, but that specific presentations for particular demographics will be more meaningful. Such presentations are intended to channel discussions that address the ethical foundation of personal and societal transformation within the specific domain of the intended audience.

GAIT Personas and Scenarios of Use

Initial use is to define draft Personas and Scenarios of Use for the Georgia Alliance for Inclusive Technologies. These formative approaches to user centered design are intended to start a conversation. By defining the current functional limitations of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in regard to the activities of people with disabilities, the approaches to inclusive design should be improved. Long-term issues will focus on 6 thematic areas:

  1. Travel & Tourism (T&T),
  2. Education,
  3. Employment,
  4. Healthcare & Rehabilitation,
  5. Culture & Human Rights, and
  6. Technology.

The changes needed within both the built environment and ITC hardware and software to support these activities will be explored.

Knowledge-base (Very Beta)

The goal of this area is to experiment with simple data structures and Google tools to create faceted search functions.
