Will Soward will discuss designing learning interfaces (such as learning management systems) for users with learning differences and permanent, temporary, or situational disabilities and explore the fundamental principles of designing for neurodiversity. He will challenge and reframe common accessibility design trends for buttons, animations, typography and color to support the neurological conditions of users in combination with user experience laws and principles. The target audience is learning designers, instructional designers, and front-end website designers, and anyone interested is welcome.
A former commercial photographer and videographer, Will works creatively in a diverse field of digital media. Digital media lead the way into front-end website design and development and provide digital solutions to a worldwide client base. In 2008 Will transitioned into education as a creative digital technologies teacher for adults with learning disabilities, later working in higher secondary education as a lecturer in interactive design. He relocated to New Zealand in 2012 to tutor a Bachelor of Arts program, then in 2016 joined eCampus NZ as a core developer and learning media designer. Today Will is the lead learning experience designer for Tait Communications.
