Subject: [Trainer-Talk] Access On Podcast Episode 90: Using principles of structured discovery when learning technology

Hello:
 
Episode 90 of Access On, the technology podcast of the National Federation of the Blind, is well worth listening to from at least perspectives. First, it provides some basic concepts around the use of computer software and smartphones from a nonvisual perspective--concepts that are vital for beginning users to understand if they hope to master this technology. Second (and perhaps more importantly), this episode demonstrates a lot of what we mean in the Federation when we use the term, "structured discovery."
 
Here is how Jonathan Mosen describes the episode.
 
"We take a practical look at structured discovery as it applies to technology learning. Rather than simply memorizing steps, structured discovery helps us understand concepts, explore unfamiliar interfaces, and stay in control when technology changes. We discuss how this approach applies across screen readers, smartphones, apps, and mainstream tools, including examples from VoiceOver, Talkback, Microsoft Office, and the growing role of AI-powered description and screen exploration."
