Inclusive design of content interface for tablet Based disaster preparedness training.

摘要

In this paper I explore how content and interface can be inclusively designed for a tablet device to deliver disaster preparedness training in a developing country (Bangladesh), where the population is technologically disadvantaged and have widespread literacy issues. Content design for this country has other important aspects such as cultural and linguistic factors, which needs to be considered. This paper presents insights gathered during the content development and deployment phases in the pilot study and a subsequent iteration. This paper argues that disaster preparedness content can be custom-made for a tablet device for a particular locality, allowing technologically disadvantaged users to raise their overall awareness and decision-making ability during a disaster event.
