 ting & After TPAC 24 Recap\n\nThe Information Architecture Community Group
  (IACG) continues to explore the intersection of Information Architecture 
 (IA) and Standards in our virtual Zoom meeting. Please join us to continue
  our ongoing discussion\, exploration\, and discovery of IA & Standards.\n
 \n## Program:\n\nWelcome and General IACG meeting\n\nInformation Architect
 ure Community Group (IACG)\n\nToday we continue our exploration of IA\, Ac
 cessibility (a11y)\, and Standards\nThe W3C Information Architecture Commu
 nity Group (IACG) welcomes anyone interested in information architecture (
 IA)\, accessibility (a11y)\, labeling systems\, taxonomies\, and standards
 . IACG members participate\, discuss\, share\, support\, develop\, and lea
 rn these topics.\n\nDate: \nSaturday 28 September 2024\, 12:00–3:30 pm E

 : Designing Technology for an Aging Population**\n\n**Dr. Jeff Johnson**\n
 If a website or app’s target audience includes older adults\, certain as
 pects of its design become more important. This talk describes age-related
  factors that affect ability to use websites and apps\, and presents desig
 n guidelines that reflect the capabilities\, usage patterns\, and preferen
 ces of older users. \n\nFeatures:\n• Demographics of users of digital t
 echnology\, by age\,\n• Age-related factors affecting ability to use com
 puters and online services\,\n• Common design problems that decrease usa
 bility for older adults\,\n• Design guidelines that can help designers a
 void these common pitfalls.\n\n**Intended audience**: IAs\, Designers\, an
 d developers of all levels.\n**Also**: Q/A engineers\, usability testers\,
  and managers.\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/Vbz4tBQOBps?si=s1JoI0lQeXaCvDnt\
 n\n**Break**\n\n1:15 - 2:15 pm EST **Designing Products with Information A
 rchitecture in Mind: Prioritizing Accessibility and Standards**\n\n**Dr. R
 upananda Misra**\, Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey \nInforma
 tion Architecture plays a critical role in the design of any product\, sha
 ping how users navigate and experience it. With nearly 27.2% of people in 
 the U.S. living with some form of disability\, including 17.2% with severe
  disabilities (Census 2014)\, the need for inclusive design has never been
  greater. This talk explores how Information Architects can create accessi
 ble and empowering products\, ensuring that users of all abilities have a 
 positive and seamless experience. By focusing on accessibility and adherin
 g to design standards\, we can transform how people with disabilities enga
 ge with technology.\n\n**Intended audience**: Information architects of al
 l levels.\n**Also**: Usability\, accessibility\, and UX professionals of a
 ll levels.\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/0GwmrUthP50?si=Jx_Y9OnUICi-KJFq\n\n#
 # Break\n\n2:30 - 3:30 pm EST **Architecting Standards: Leveraging Informa
 tion Architecture to Drive Emerging Techn Standards**\n\n**Noreen Whysel**
 \, City University of New York (CUNY)\nIn this talk\, Noreen will show how
  standards bodies can learn from the IA field to improve accessibility and
  usability. By adopting user-centered design principles and engaging in it
 erative feedback loops\, standards organizations can create more relevant 
 and practical standards that align with real-world applications. Emphasizi
 ng collaboration with industry experts and end-users will help ensure that
  standards evolve along with technological advancements.\n\nShe will exami
 ne key standards such as ISO 9241\, which provides guidelines for usabilit
 y and user-centered design\, and the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guide
 lines (WCAG)\, ensuring that digital content is accessible to all users\, 
 including those with disabilities.\n\nFinally\, with new forms of digital 
 interaction like GenAI\, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)\, voice inte
 raction\, and other emerging technologies\, Noreen will highlight how IA c
 an provide a working framework in the absence of formal standards.\n\nInte
 nded audience: Information architects of all levels.\nAlso: Accessibility\
 , AI\, and UX professionals of all levels.\n\nVideo: https://youtu.be/mNgK
