Course start

I've created this blog to post my learning diary entries for a module I'm taking this year; HCCS advanced topics. I will link my other blogs to it and  comments from any readers are welcome on anything I muse, comment or rant on.

We have been told to look out for usability and accessibility issues in the real world throughout our studies to serve as discussion points in class, and also I guess to get us thinking in the right way. Two things I can think off already. Firstly, I bought a new sound system for my laptop a few weeks ago and you can only turn it on and off and adjust EQ levels with the remote. So if I or any other unfortunate person who invested £50 in it loses it they are in trouble!  Secondly, I lost my passport the other day and the online lost passport form requires you to know your passport number to continue to the next screen. Who designs these things????
