Background: it is important to standardize the evaluation and reporting procedures across usability studies to guide researchers, facilitate comparisons, and promote high-quality studies. A first step to standardizing is to have an overview of how experts-based usability evaluation studies are reported across the literature. Objectives: to describe and synthesize the procedures of usability evaluation by experts that are being reported to conduct inspection usability assessments of digital solutions relevant for older adults. Methods: a scoping review of reviews was performed using a five-stage methodology to identify and describe relevant literature published between 2009 and 2020 as follows: i) identification of the research question; ii) identification of relevant studies; iii) select studies for review; iv) charting of data from selected literature; and v) collation, summary, and report of results. The research was conducted on five electronic databases: PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEE, Scopus, and Web of Science. The articles that met the inclusion criteria were identified, and data extracted for further analysis, including evaluators, current usability inspection methods, and instruments to support usability inspection methods. Results: a total of 3958 articles were identified. After a detailed screening, 12 reviews matched the eligibility criteria. Conclusion: overall, we found a variety of unstandardized procedures and a lack of detail on some important aspects of the assessment, including a thorough description of the evaluators and of the instruments used to facilitate the inspection evaluation such as heuristics checklists. These findings suggest the need for a consensus framework on the experts’ assessment of usability that informs researchers and allows standardization of procedures.

People with cognitive and learning disabilities make up a significant percentage of the general population. Among the difficulties of this group, it is frequent that they present a poor comprehension of texts. The easy-to-read guidelines facilitate the comprehension of texts but adapting texts according to these rules is a time-consuming manual labour. There are automatic approaches to simplify texts and assess difficulty after the text is published, but there is not a tool to help writers and editors in the editorial process. In this paper a platform is presented to assist in this process by visually identifying problematic elements indicated in the guidelines. This approach allows publishers to do their job more efficiently.

In this study, we review existing free digital games for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We examine their features, aim, educational design, and learning theories that underlie them. Fourteen games were analysed. Based on our analysis, behaviourism seems to be a dominant educational approach for the design of games for ASD, despite the educational advantages of constructivist approaches. Through this review, we link the educational design of digital games for children with ASD to the potential learning outcomes, and we provide some insights for game developers, ASD specialists, and teachers, relevant to the design of more effective games for children with ASD.

In the last decades due to technological advances, Robotics has change its paradigm, as well as, its course of development. Therefore, a new generation of robots has emerged, the Socially Assistive Robotics. These robots aim to improve the assistance to human users through social rather than physical interaction. Consequently, many are the developments made through the use of social robots in mental healthcare scenarios, regarding the elderly population and children or young adults with mental disorders, in order to either prevent cognitive decline, improve psycho-social outcomes or the patient capabilities and lifetime. However, few breakthroughs have been made in the mental disorders field that differ from studies with people with Autism Spectrum Disorders or that are conducted with adults. This study aims to demonstrate that humanoid NAO can improve attention in adults with mental disorders during certain task and kept through several sessions over time.

Inclusion is a system that accepts diversity as the norm, and can be achieved successfully in environments that promote and encourage social interaction, such as the interventions with Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) do. The permission and attitudes of the parents of children of Typical Development (TD) that their children participate in interventions that promote inclusion in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are considered as an important factor for the implementation. In general, parents seem to accept the inclusive practices, but when it comes to their children's participation in such activities, many appear to be skeptical about allowing their children to participate, stating most of the times fear that their children will adopt possible negative behaviors of children with disabilities or their children's education will be impeded. In an intervention for the inclusion of three ASD children, with Daisy Robot, three more children of TD, also participated. All TD became more motivated to engage in actions under the guidance of the robot, and their scores on almost all of the skills were perfected after the interventions. Most importantly, TD children's participation worked for the benefit of their own development since no misbehaviors were observed or other issues arose, suggesting that their education and training were impeded. On the contrary, they presented development taking advantage of the different circumstances.

Homes are becoming increasingly smarter, enabling us to control their smart appliances and devices, as well as obtain relevant information on the home. However, accessibility in smart homes for all is still a challenge, with information being presented in the same way to the different users and in distinct contexts. If the interaction is not adapted to the user, certain citizens (e.g., children, and older/impaired people) can be excluded from exploiting the full potential of smart homes. Furthermore, without adaptation to the context, interaction becomes more difficult in some situations (e.g., noisy or low-light environments). With the aim of enhancing smart home accessibility, we propose a solution for adapting the information presented during interaction with the home to the user's characteristics, capabilities and preferences, as well as to the context, namely the environment's noise and luminosity, and user distance.

Nowadays, world society lives in the information age where technology has made significant advances. This evolution did not simultaneously follow the aging population, which currently can have physical and cognitive difficulties interacting with these devices. This paper aims to analyze how we can enhance older users' experience with portable electronic devices to make them more accessible and user-friendly for this group of people. We carried out assessments with 25 older adults, aged between 60 and 76, who participated in an introductory informatics course. The methodology used were observation, interview, and the application of a questionnaire. After three consecutive months of in-person meetings, we analyzed the data, detecting the senior users' main difficulties during the interaction with devices. Among the results obtained in this work, most of the older users thought it was challenging to find and configure the settings and were afraid to break the device, and some had difficulties with the keyboard, the small font size, and the touchscreen. We show all our findings with more details and suggest how we can improve older users' interaction with devices, reinforcing how accessibility is essential. CCS CONCEPTS • Social and professional topics → Seniors; • Hardware → Communication hardware, interfaces and storage; • Human-centered computing → Accessibility design and evaluation methods

The COVID-19 outbreak forced the educators to deploy digital online learning giving rise to a range of new situations. The phenomenon of undergraduate students not activating their cameras during video lectures has been widely reported. Also, the philosophies regarding the goals of pre-recorded online video vary. To get more insight into the role and importance of students’ and teacher's faces in video communication a video watching experiment and a questionnaire was designed and deployed in a class of 180 computer science students. The results indicate that students do to see the benefits of activating their own cameras. The results also show that there was a small benefit of including the lecturer's face in lecture videos.

Online registration and authentication is becoming increasingly important, yet registration and authentication systems are typically developed without considering the needs of people with disabilities, particular visual disabilities. We now face an additional challenge that evaluating systems with users has become impossible in face-to-face situations due to the coronavirus pandemic, so remote evaluations become more important. This paper presents a remote evaluation with visually disabled users of the registration and authentication process for online health services in the UK. Two methods of remote evaluation were compared: moderated evaluation in which the researcher and participant worked together via Microsoft Teams; and unmoderated evaluation in which the participant worked by themselves and recorded their session for later analysis by the researcher. This paper concentrates on the issues of the remote evaluation methods, rather than the results of the accessibility of the registration and authentication process, which will be reported later. A number of problems and some surprising strengths of remote evaluation with visually disabled participants are discussed, as well as some differences between moderated and unmoderated remote evaluation.

The fields of artificial intelligence, knowledge inference, data science, etc. have been deeply studied over time and many theoretical approaches have been developed, including its application to health and diseases inference. The creation of prototype and consumer systems has been restrained by the technology limitations on data acquisition and processing, which has been greatly overcome with the new sensors and mobile devices technologies. So, in this work we go through a literature review of the current state of the art on record to the usage of mobile technologies for diseases inference. The review methodology is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. The criteria were based on journal articles, prior to 2008, and using the defined keywords. A total of 14 selected articles were analyzed. A general conclusion was attained regarding the current state of maturity of the field, leading to fully functional consumer and professional market products.
