15:24:24 q+ 15:24:43 ack SuzanneTaylor 15:24:53 SuzanneTaylor: Yes, we looked at shopping ... 15:25:02 SuzanneTaylor: initial comment was "how do we know?" 15:25:49 SuzanneTaylor: abut thinking about user control, it could exemplify tech helping users chunk content for easier comprehension which could eventually make the unsimplified UI alone OK 15:26:15 SuzanneTaylor: chunking could give us opportunity to explain what's shown and how to relate to it 15:26:45 SuzanneTaylor: asks whether they should take next step, or us look atBob's ontology 15:26:59 s/atBob's/at Bob's/ 15:27:01 rrsagent, make minutes 15:27:02 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/01/30-adapt-minutes.html matatk 15:30:06 ~janina: Invites CG to add to Explainer; meanwhile Adapt should look at Bob's ontology 15:30:14 SuzanneTaylor: Will advise when CG takes this up 15:30:37 SuzanneTaylor: We have productive mtgs--next this Thursday with Adapt followup, will try for early draft 15:30:38 s/~janina: Invites/janina: Invites/ 15:30:40 rrsagent, make minutes 15:30:41 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/01/30-adapt-minutes.html matatk 15:30:53 SuzanneTaylor: will ask group re next steps in that mtg as well 15:31:00 q? 15:31:51 bob: Will take this opportunity to shore up old NSF documentation and provide Adapt an ontology to study 15:32:07 bob: Notes it's hard, because cognitive is a challenge--everything seems important! 15:32:39 q+ 15:32:51 ack Maud 15:33:28 Maud: We also try to look at stats and research re chil.dren in our CG 15:33:38 Maud: Notes it's sometimes difficult to justify a choice 15:34:38 q+ 15:34:50 ack SuzanneTaylor 15:35:13 janina: notes teaching music by learning ernding first, then the section before it, etc., in order to always be moving to something familiar 15:36:09 SuzanneTaylor: notes a similar approachbeing overwhelmed by too many steps in math, so chunking the math could avoid intimidation and work toward the whol 15:36:17 s/whol/whole/ 15:36:36 agenda? 15:37:17 q+ 15:37:27 ack SuzanneTaylor 15:37:30 SuzanneTaylor: sounds like we have excellent next steps 15:43:14 matatk: don't want to say much until seeing Bob's ontology, but thinking about different criteria may in fact not be "simplification," or whatever 15:43:37 matatk: But also a lot of data on people's interests and needs; probably standard formats and systems 15:43:47 matatk: might give us a path back to their content 15:44:46 matatk: will be interesting to see what they've done 15:47:40 Sharon: Noted Matthew's question on search; doesn't take the place of what you can, and can't pick. It doesn't make the page easier to read even when you pick 15:49:27 janina: notes it's too easy to buy the wrong thing in a shopping cart that doesn't actually restrict rendering to choices user has indicated 15:49:35 janina: why would they? they want the revenue 15:49:52 matatk: so it's a definitional question, what constitutes the simplified 15:50:01 matatk: it's not just simple to complex linearly 15:50:32 matatk: also, is this UI or content? 15:50:45 matatk: We'll want a follow-on conversation once we've looked at the ontoloty 15:50:58 Sharon: also where the use cases will help 15:51:08 Sharon: often it's both because they come out of a db 15:51:42 Sharon: seems with enough knowledge about a particular user, you could build a more effective UI/content digestion approach 15:52:19 matatk: Glad we enforced that we need to classify properties of content -- that may, or may not actually be a 'distraction.' 15:52:29 matatk: there's nothing intrinsic that's always 'distraction.' 15:52:49 matatk: it just depends on what one is after 15:53:48 matatk: adapt-simplification may just be the wrong name 15:53:48 Sharon: believe we discussedd when deciding on adapt-symbol 15:53:48 Sharon: so what's the unique value add we offer? 15:54:38 matatk: notes lots of work on appropriate classification -- we can draw on to decide how to define buckets 15:54:55 matatk: but there will be people who just need the bare minimum q+ 15:55:03 q+ 15:55:32 ack janina 15:57:18 rrsagent, make minutes 15:57:19 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2023/01/30-adapt-minutes.html janina
