The Inclusive Design Research Centre (IDRC) is a research and development centre at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada. The centre defines inclusive design as that which "considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://idrc.ocad.ca/index.php/about-the-idrc )〕 The research centre is directed by Jutta Treviranus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://idrc.ocad.ca/index.php/about-the-idrc/staff-pages/112-jutta-treviranus-director )〕 In 2011 the centre launched a Master of Design in Inclusive Design.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://idrc.ocad.ca/index.php/workshops-aamp-trainings/masters-program )〕 ==Current Projects== The IDRC supports open standards, open access, and open source technology wherever possible in order to maximize distribution and to encourage broad participation. Some of the new initiatives the IDRC is working on are: ''FLOE Project: Flexible Learning for Open Education.'' FLOE is intended to enable inclusive access to personally relevant, engaging learning opportunities for the full diversity of learners and content producers. For example, Users can customize the look and feel and presentation of web content to meet their unique needs and preferences through FLOE User Interface Options. In addition, the FLOE video player allows multiple language caption support, synchronized and navigable transcripts, and is fully accessible via keyboard control, and screen reader.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Flexible Learning for Open Education )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://idrc.ocad.ca/index.php/research-and-development/new-projects )〕 ''ADOD Project: Accessible Digital Office Document.'' ADOD is developing vendor-neutral manual with practical application-specific instructions that can help users choose accessible office applications and create accessible documents from common office application suites. The guidance is based primarily on WCAG 2.0 and ATAG 1.0 recommendations of the W3C. ADOD is being developed in partnership with UNESCO and the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Accessible Digital Office Document (ADOD) Project )〕 ''AEGIS Ontario: Integrating Accessibility into Emerging ICT.'' The ÆGIS Ontario project is devoted to ensuring that emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) are designed inclusively, thereby supporting Ontario's commitment to equal access and preparing Ontario's ICT businesses to meet the growing global demand for products and services that provide accessibility to people of all abilities. The project is funded by the Ontario Research Fund Research Excellence program, and is working in close partnership with AEGIS Europe.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ÆGIS Project (Ontario) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inclusive Design Research Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
