The use of computers and electronic resources has dominated human activities especially in the last two decades (Straker, 2001). Its use is complemented by a whole lot of other electronic devices, all of which are now collectively regarded as Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are information handling tools that are used to produce, store, and process, distribute and exchange information. These different tools are now able to work together and combine to form networked world-wide which reaches into every corner of the globe (UNDP Evaluation Office, 2001). It is an increasingly powerful tool for participating in global markets, promoting political accountability, improving the delivery of basic services and enhancing local development opportunities (UNDP, 2006). To Ogunsola (2005) ICT 'is an electronic based system of information transmission, reception, processing and retrieval, which has drastically changed the way we think, the way we live and the environment in which we live'. Information and communication technology has changed how people live, work or play (Berenfield, 1999).Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has not only witnessed a wide range of application in virtually all human endeavours, it has also actually transformed the world into a global village in such a manner that its contribution to human development over the years cannot be overemphasized. Despite the efforts, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) integration is still marked with apathy on the part of science teachers and students, possibly due to unawareness, inaccessible and lack of basic ICT skills in using the ICT resources available for effective academic activities in schools. This study therefore examined the awareness, accessibility and usability on internet technology in promoting effective teaching and learning.

As schools change their teaching methods to incorporate technology and specifically online learning environments, students can sometimes feel overwhelmed because they do not know how to use it or that is not properly designed for student use. Teachers need to be more aware of how well the students can use the websites and various pieces of technology. Schools believe that by providing students with the ability to access educational content online, they are enabling students of all abilities to learn. Universal design for learning (UDL) tries to help educators change students into experts and prepared learners by ?providing teachers with a framework for understanding how to create lessons and content that meets the needs of all learners from the start? (?UDL guidelines: Version 2.0,?2012, para.2). This project focuses on the accessibility and usability of online learning environments. With guidelines from the government website on usability, the Website Accessibility Initiative, Universal Design for Learning, and the study of previous research performed on accessibility and usability, I will attempt to increase teachers’ awareness of these guidelines and incorporate them into the online learning environment. With the creation of a rubric and essential concepts of accessibility and usability, teachers can assess their online learning environments and gain student’s reactions about the usability and accessibility of the technology using student surveys.

This book addresses a range of topics in design, such as universal design, design for all, digital inclusion, universal usability, and accessibility of technologies for people regardless of their age, financial situation, education, geographic location, culture and language. It especially focuses on accessibility for people with auditory, cognitive, neurological, and visual impairments, ageing populations, and mobility for those with special physical needs. The book explores some of the overlaps between inclusive design and web accessibility to help managers, designers, developers, policy makers, and researchers optimize their efforts in these areas. Based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Design for Inclusion, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, it discusses new design technologies and highlights the disparate needs of the individuals within a community. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, it is a valuable resource for readers from various backgrounds, providing them a timely, practice-oriented guide to design for inclusion.

The compilation and deployment of statistical techniques is nowadays almost universally based on computing systems. Rapidly changing technology is expanding the options available for improving the quality, range and delivery of statistics whilst reducing the cost, and at the same time is putting pressure on producers and users to keep up with the latest techniques, both as management views develop of what is possible and simply through peer group pressure. In the areas of official statistics, it is clear that new technologies will change our approach to the whole range to activities from systems design, through data collection, processing, analysis and dissemination, to the structure of the European Statistical System and internal organization of national statistical institutes. Eurostat has a central role in promoting and coordinating the development and use of statistics in public administrations, which extends to the adoption of new techniques and technologies as they are proven validated. An important aspect of this role is to anticipate needs, to stimulate, encourage and fund research work of common interest, to support national initiatives and to prove a forum for discussion. In this new book techniques and technologies in statistics are described. The needs and constraints of official staticians are described as well as the latest developments of researchers. The book presents the research and development projects funded by the European Commission in the development of statistical tools and techniques under the R&D framework programme and the progress to date in the current Development of Statistical Information Systems (DOSIS) programme.

This book for architects, interior designers, building managers, students, conference organisers looks at first principles to provide the user with the 'tools' to make their own decisions rather than a 'cookbook' approach. It is intended that designs and product information can be taken straight from the manual and inserted into ongoing projects. For the first time the book considers the needs of people with visual, hearing and mental disabilities, who make up the majority of disabled people in the population, alongside those of people with physical mobility disabilities. Practical low cost solutions to retro-fitting existing buildings are discussed, as well as the methods used to assess the suitability of an existing building, and assembling a project to improve access for disabled people. Specific products and designs are illustrated and discussed - with full working technical drawings, and full specification details. These will reduce considerably the research time needed to produce a cost-effective solution that will improve access for disabled people. A perspective of the standards and legislation dealing with access issues in the UK is compared with those in other countries, and the standards mentioned are compared with the realities of practical implementation carried out in 4 years of design in this area.
