Abstract
Rapid improvements in real-world accessibility conditions have enabled greater mobility of people with disabilities as well as senior citizens. However, the most recent information on accessibility conditions in areas such as suburbs is challenging to obtain quickly because of infrequent updates of this type of information along with local information upgrades. Though volunteer groups continuously check local conditions to ensure they are safe for people with disabilities, some of them face difficulty in maintaining the accessibility of information because of the shortage of members in such groups. In this study, we firstly proposed a framework named to design an assessment workshop and its supporting application based on the schemes of Problem/Project-based learning (PBL) and the ADDIE (Analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate). Based on the framework, we designed the workshop sessions of local assessments and supported mobile and web applications, then preliminarily evaluated this approach’s availability. The results suggested that our framework might appropriately enable facilitators to plan workshop sessions and consider how to facilitate, and also enable participants to learn the local conditions.
