Accessibility of Public Web Services: A Distant Dream?

2013

Part 1: Long and Short Papers; International audience; Today, many public services are available online through Web sites. The accessibility of the sites, also to people with disabilities, is important because the accessibility concerns equality of citizens, a cornerstone of democracy. In the current study we carried out a meta-analysis of 17 studies concerning the accessibility of the Web sites of public administration. Furthermore, we assessed the accessibility of Web pages of 12 ministries of the Finnish government. The assessments were based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). The results showed that in terms of the WCAG guidelines, the average accessibility of public We…

Work at home and time use in Finland

2011

User-oriented evaluation of mechanical single-channel axial pipettes.

2013

Hand tools should be designed so that they are comfortable to use, fit the hand and are user-oriented. Six different manual, single-channel axial pipettes were evaluated for such objective outcomes as muscular activity, wrist postures and efficiency, as well as for subjective outcomes concerning self-assessed features of pipette usability and musculoskeletal strain. Ten experienced laboratory employees volunteered for the study. The results showed that light and short pipettes with better tool comfort resulted in reduced muscular activity and perceived musculoskeletal strain when they were compared with a long and heavy pipette. There were no differences in the efficiency between the differ…

Evaluation of interaction metaphors for collaborative work distant immersive sites

2009

The design of the virtual environment (VE) has to take into account several factors including the input and output devices, the design of the interaction metaphor or the application domain. In addition to these considerations, the design of a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) needs to take into account the collaborative aspect of the interaction metaphor. In one hand, the interaction metaphor has to be designed for the best possible task performance. In the other hand, the influence of the interaction metaphor on the user's experience (in terms of psychological and social aspects) constitutes an important research question. To address this research question, two experimental studies h…

Identifier les conceptions de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage pour accompagner le développement professionnel des enseignants débutants à l'univ…

2010

International audience; Les conceptions individuelles agissent comme des filtres dans la compréhension du monde environnant et, de fait, dans le développement individuel. Les enseignants universitaires ne font pas exception à la règle et leurs conceptions à propos de l'enseignement, de l'apprentissage, de ce qui aide les étudiants à apprendre ou encore des qualités associées à un bon enseignant, influencent leurs pratiques professionnelles. Cet article présente les conceptions de l'enseignement et de l'apprentissage observées chez de jeunes enseignants débutants : la diversité des conceptions et la mise en évidence que les différents profils peu-vent être associés au projet professionnel de…

Enseigner l’activité « écriture collaborative »

2019

Although certain education policies emphasize “the ability to collaborate” as a key element of educational reform, education for digital collaboration is poorly supported by public schools. To build the conditions of a sustainable education, we have developed a training model focused on learner autonomy. We present the results of an experiment conducted with students, our pedagogical model and its implementation, as well as our observation and analysis of this experiment. We analyzed discussions in instant messaging between students and teachers, and their productions. All results show the influence of our training. Thus, education and digital collaboration can be built from a triple analyt…

Analyse du partage d'informations contextuelles dans deux formes d'interaction sportives : coopérative et concurrentielle

2009

RESUME Plusieurs etudes ont souligne l’importance du partage d’informations contextuelles lors de tâches cooperatives. S’inspirant de la notion de contexte partage, notre etude visait a preciser le partage d’informations contextuelles dans deux formes d’interaction en tennis de table : une cooperative et une concurrentielle. Afin de reconstruire le partage d’informations contextuelles du point de vue des acteurs, cette etude a ete menee en reference au cadre theorique et methodologique du cours d’action (Theureau, 1992). Elle a permis : a) d’identifier trois formes typiques de partage des informations contextuelles ; et b) de preciser les processus regulant le partage de ces informations et…

Cognition collective : Partage de préoccupations entre les joueurs d'une équipe de basketball au cours d'un match

2011

Resume Notre etude s’est attachee a analyser la construction de l’activite collective en s’interessant au partage des preoccupations entre les partenaires d’une equipe lors d’un match de basket-ball. Elle a ete menee en reference au cadre theorique et methodologique du cours d’action (Theureau, 2006). Elle a caracterise la nature des preoccupations individuelles des joueurs et les formes d’agencement de ces preoccupations au sein de l’equipe au cours du temps. Les resultats ont mis en evidence deux dynamiques d’apparition des moments de convergence des preoccupations en relation avec la nature de ce qui est partage par les joueurs. Sont discutees la relation entre preoccupations partagees e…

Le mérite contre la justice

2019

International audience; Le mérite a la cote. Avec lui, l'idée que chacun est responsable de ce qui lui arrive, de ses succès comme de ses échecs, et l'espérance qu'en récompensant talents et efforts, on produira une société juste et efficace.La mise en exergue constante du mérite, sans tenir compte des inégalités (sociales, de genre, d'origine, etc.), est pourtant tout sauf anodine. Elle engendre de nombreux effets pervers : à l'école, où l'idéal de la formation de tous s'efface devant la sélection des plus "méritants" ; dans le monde du travail, quand se caler sur la réussite scolaire et le diplôme amène à négliger bien d'autres talents et à créer une concurrence délétère.Sans ôter tout mé…
