Toward Inclusive Learning Design
This book examines how society has been affected by the social upheaval of the years since George Floyd’s death and efforts by those in education and educational technology to address the concerns of equity, community and social justice. This book is a practical yet scholarly guide in the pursuit of inclusive design, drawing from a diverse range of authors with a broad range of application and theory. The chapters go beyond a narrow view of inclusive learning design, and address issues in a broad range of fields. This book is appropriate for all levels of learning, with a distinct focus on higher education and graduate education.
Forensic Uses of Clinical Assessment Instruments
The purpose of this book is to provide a firm basis for psychologists to understand the appropriate uses and limitations of popular clinical assessment measures as they are applied to forensic issues. The instruments were selected because of their wide use and importance in both clinical and forensic settings. The PCL-R, the PAI, and MCMI-II, for example, are typically used with adults in criminal evaluations; the MMPI-A is often used in evaluating adolescents in detention and correctional facilities; while the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)(Achenbach, 1991), Personality Inventory for Children--Second Edition (PIC-2)(Lachar & Gruber, 2001), and Parenting Stress Index (PSI)(Abidin, 1995) are...

Fringes

The Black Experience in Design
The Black Experience in Design spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens. Excluded from traditional design history and educational canons that heavily favor European modernist influences, the work and experiences of Black designers have been systematically overlooked in the profession for decades. However, given the national focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the aftermath of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, educators, practitioners, and students now have the opportunity—as well as the social and political momentum—to make long-term, systemic changes in design education, research, and ...
Seeing and Saying
Imagine you are sitting at Starbuck glancing at the blue coffee mug in front of you. The mug is blue on the outside, white on the inside. It's large for a mug. And it's nearly full of freshly made coffee. In the envisaged case, you see all those aspects of the scene in front of you, but it remains a question of ferocious debate whether the visual experience that makes up your seeing is a direct “perceptual” relation between you and your environment or a psychology state that has a content that represents the mug. If your experience involves an external “perceptual” relation to an external, mind-independent object, it is unlike familiar mental states such as belief and desire states, ...
