Learning outcomes/competences

Various forms of Braille and their production processes; implementation of Arduino projects; realization of solutions in relation to the requirements of a specific peer group (visual impairments)

Contents

Braille is a tactile writing system developed by Louis Braille in the 1820s to enable blind and visually impaired people to read and write. The script is based on a system of raised dots arranged in a 2x3 grid. Each letter, number, punctuation mark and even special abbreviations are represented by different combinations of these six dots. There are different gradations of Braille, ranging from the basic level, which includes the basic letters and characters, to advanced Braille, which includes complex structures such as mathematical and scientific notations and special abbreviations. The operation of a Braille printer is similar to that of a conventional printer, but instead of inks or colors, raised dots are produced. Braille printers are compatible with computers or mobile devices and can print Braille directly from digital text documents. Due to the mechanical work required, these devices are often large, heavy and very expensive. An existing open source project is now to be developed further. The version "La Picoreuse" (https://github.com/iapafoto/BraillePrinter) is now to be redesigned in such a way that the documented errors (such as embossing depth and embossing strength, standard conformity of the Braille characters, communication with the end user, etc.) can be corrected.

Learning outcomes/competences

Students have acquired the ability to examine and discuss issues relating to the topic of sustainability with reference to digital transformation, smart technologies and societies from an engineering perspective and to work on them in an interdisciplinary context. They will be able to develop, adequately present and explain a use case in the context of the summer school's main topic. Students will be able to consider and integrate knowledge from different disciplines and cultures for their own subject area and select relevant aspects for the use case from the complex contexts, as well as transfer the knowledge gained to other issues. Through intercultural training in a workshop format, sensitivity for working and designing in international contexts is acquired. Students also acquire communication techniques for heterogeneous teams and an understanding of global diversity.

Contents

At the RMS Summer School, the topic of "Sustainability regional" is examined by various specialist disciplines in an international exchange and dealt with from an engineering and technical perspective. Sub-focal points are:
  • Smart systems
  • Digital transformation and digital infrastructures
  • Energy and energy transition o Industry 4.0
  • Modeling and simulation
  • Mobility development
  • Sustainability economics
  • Project management
The specialist program is based on three main components, focusing on current trends in technology and society.
  • Specialist presentations followed by a discussion
  • Specific excursions that provide a practical insight 
  • Student working groups with an international and interdisciplinary composition to apply and discuss the newly acquired knowledge. The "use case development" (e.g. poster project) is used to develop framework conditions for a fictitious or real project as well as to create requirement profiles and interdisciplinary solution approaches to the challenges of modern metropolitan regions, of which the Ruhr region is an example, and to apply the newly acquired knowledge in practice.
The Summer School will kick off with joint intercultural training for German and international participants in a workshop format. The joint conclusion will take the form of a panel discussion.

Teaching methods

  • Know relevant theoretical foundations of usability engineering
  • Explain and compare established usability engineering tools and methods (AB-Tests, GOMS, Interviews, Usability-Lab Tests, Remote-Tests, etc.)
  • Understand perception of and interaction with standard WIMP based user interfaces. the applicability of those tools and methods in a given project situation
  • communicate concepts for different target groups (professional peers, user groups, management, etc.)
Skills: Upon completion of this module, students will be able to:
  • Observe, recognize and evaluate user behavior and behavioral patterns (e.g. analyzing video protocols from user tests)
  • Analyze context of use by empirical methods like field study or derive it from statistical usage data
  • Derive requirements from the established context of use
  • Create a prototype for a given set of requirements selecting and using an appropriate method (e.g. paper prototype, design prototype, interactive prototype)
  • Evaluate a given prototype or (software) system selecting and using an appropriate method (e.g. cognitive walkthrough, heuristic evaluation, AB-test, informal methods, lab test)
  • Adapt and improve those methods and tools for new application areas and interaction paradigms
Competence - attitude: Upon completion of this module, students will develop the ability and attitude to :

  • Critically reflect behavior (own and well as others) in general, as well as in a given situation

Contents

This module is focusing on the essential methods and tools to evaluate and measure the effectiveness, efficiency and the joy of use with which a user and perform a task with a given system. The reoccurring scheme throughout the course is the User Centered Design Process (ISO 9241-210). The students will learn how to observe and specify a context of use, derive requirements from it, create a prototype and evaluate it. For all those parts of the process specific tools and methods will be introduced. Students will learn about usability engineering from a theoretical viewpoint, by studying state-of-the-art research publications, as well as from a practical point of view, by project examples and case studies. These methods and tools will be applied as well as critically evaluated and checked for potential of improvement.
