• Title: Digital Accessibility Literacy: A Conceptual Framework for Training on Digital Accessibility
• Authors: Björn Fisseler,
• Abstract summary: This article takes up the current discourse on the description of literacy and uses it to develop the concept of digital accessibility literacy. Digital accessibility literacy encompasses both the creation (encoding) and interpretation (decoding) of accessible digital content and technologies. This comprehensive approach improves technical skills and instills ethical and social responsibility.

• Abstract: Developing digital accessibility expertise is critical to breaking down barriers and ensuring digital inclusion. However, a discourse on a pedagogical culture for teaching digital literacy is still lacking. This article, therefore, takes up the current discourse on the description of literacy and uses it to develop the concept of digital accessibility literacy as a fundamental element for promoting a pedagogical culture of digital accessibility. Digital accessibility literacy encompasses both the creation (encoding) and interpretation (decoding) of accessible digital content and technologies. By integrating awareness, technical standards, inclusive design practices, and continuous feedback into curricula, future professionals will be empowered to create digital environments that are accessible to all. This comprehensive approach improves technical skills and instills ethical and social responsibility. As a first draft of a digital accessibility literacy concept, the proposal will be used as a basis for discussion and further development.

  We introduce ConceptBed, a large-scale dataset that consists of 284 unique visual concepts and 33K composite text prompts. We evaluate visual concepts that are either objects, attributes, or styles, and also evaluate four dimensions of compositionality: counting, attributes, relations, and actions. Our results point to a trade-off between learning the concepts and preserving the compositionality which existing approaches struggle to overcome.

• From Digital Divide to Digital Justice in the Global South: Conceptualising Adverse Digital Incorporation [0.0]
  The connection between digital and inequality has traditionally been understood in terms of the digital divide or of forms of digital inequality whose core conceptualisation is exclusion. This paper argues that, as the global South moves into a digital development paradigm of growing breadth and depth of digital engagement, an exclusion worldview is no longer sufficient. The paper argues the need for a new concept: "adverse digital incorporation", meaning inclusion in a digital system that enables a more-advantaged group to extract disproportionate value from the work or resources of another, less-advantaged group.
