...tests included color in various settings; each produced results that favored color. The degree of color depends on what is being demonstrated in the picture. If the instruction calls for a specific part of the pictured object to be manipulated, coloring just that part proves most effective. If the intended audience is people with poor reading and interpreting skills, then it is highly recommended that color be used in this manner. All the results from the research suggest that people who are easily frustrated with instructions prefer highlights to black and white, and full color. Furthermore, the color should be strictly limited to the major functions of the task being illustrated. Unnecessary highlights increase the complexity, and in turn the understandability of the picture. A further recommendation can be made concerning the amount of highlighting that should be used. The number of different colors in any given picture instructing a complex task should be limited. When highlighting the important functions of the task, only a small range of colors should be included. If a broad range of colors is used, the reader could interpret their meaning incorrectly. They could, for example, think one color is more important than another is or think that the colors are implying a sequence in the instructions. If the picture is of a general object or action with no focus, then using full color, as opposed to black-and-white, is more effective. Overall, color is more attractive...

...Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the study Living in this modern society, technology is very much involved. Every person is recognized with the device or gadget, he carries; that is the result of a technologically inclined society. Eventually, living without technology is like a soldier without gun; that is how people are so much dependent with technology today. Nowadays, some customers such as hospitals, manufacturing, industries, commercial establishments, schools, buildings and homes are dependent on electrical devices and equipment. These devices are controlled by modern technology for their operations, controls and processes. This includes remote sensing, SCADA, HMI, micro controller sensors and PLC. They are used for automatic control of lights and switches, and for remotely controlled operation of equipment or machine. These modern technologies save time, costs, and labor. The researcher conceptualized this study about the modern technology using HMI in the school specifically the laboratory room. Laboratory should be conducive to learning so that students are encouraged to study. It is a room where the students have the basic knowledge in theoretical aspects before they ought to gain knowledge outside. So, the study is focus on the development of a modernized laboratory equipped with automatic controls. Before laboratory is just a room with equipment, many lights, and switches. They are using manual switching of the facilities inside a laboratory room which is done...

...where they have the ability to switch between them, allowing the individual to adapt to the learning strategy. VARK defines four sensory modalities that are used for learning (VARK, 2015). The “V” modality uses graphics such as maps, charts, diagrams and symbols instead of words to represent the information they are trying to learn. “A” modality prefers information that can be heard or spoken. This represents a traditional classroom type providing lectures, open group discussions, webinars, and talking things through as learning methods. The third category, “R” modality, is defined as the read and write method. It emphasizes all types of reading manuals, power point, dictionaries and internet use. “K” modality is the most common learning style for students but not teachers. This modality is a hands-on concrete method using examples, case studies and reality experiences...

...1) Analyse the likely causes of the resentment over the employee manual and uniforms by considering the impact of the sender, message, decoding, feedback, context, and probable sources of noise. Describe how the problems you identified could have been minimized by different communication strategies. According to the case study, Sundown Bakery has been experiencing turmoil between its management and employees. The major catalysts of the situation involved newly hired operations manager Has Mickelson's decision to impose new rules on matters such as the compulsory use of uniforms and the introduction of an employee manual. The true nature of the problem can be attributed to Mickelson's inability to consider and acclimate to needs of Sundown's communication processes and the context to which they were previously communicating. Here we will analyze likely causes of the bakery's employee resentment over changes that have been implemented by management in respect to the communication process, context and noise. We will then derive different strategies that could have minimized the nature of the problem. Understanding the communication process is an important part of achieving effective communication and avoiding barriers that would prevent it to flow freely in the organization. It involves a sender, message, medium (channel), receiver and feedback. By analysing the case study, we have interpreted that the issue arose mainly due to incorrect ways of handling the medium aspect...

...al. 2010). They may “manipulate” a joint by performing passive movements at the end of the patient’s range of motion or massage a muscle. There are other techniques used like electrotherapy, ultrasound, hot packs, and ice. Physical therapists can provide care in a variety of settings which include hospitals, private practices, schools, sports and fitness facilities, and nursing homes. Their responsibilities are not solely limited to working with patients but rather, they take on the role of developing standards for physical therapists’ practice and health care policy that assures availability, accessibility, and optimal delivery. One aspect of physical therapy that, in some cases, is often unrecognized is physical therapists having a background/knowledge in sport psychology or psychology in general. They handle the physical aspect of the injury but often unintentionally ignore the psychological portion. The most commonly reported psychological issues associated with athletic injury are anxiety and negative stressors. This led to the creation of a model that helps interpret how an athlete responds to injury. The model describes the response to an injury as being influenced by personal and situational factors that are often associated with the behavioral and emotional response of the athlete. The physical and mental recovery from injury are directly influenced by these behavioral and emotional responses, often characterized by negative/positive self-talk, frustration, and adherence...

To demonstrate, the "undo" button on your computer that allows you to correct mistakes without consequence (Centre for Excellence in Universal Design, 2016a). The board’s non-slip pads ensured safe movement across various surfaces. However, the board did not meet three of the four guidelines required for ‘tolerance of error’ principle listed below: 1. This product draws the user's attention to errors or hazards. 2. If the user makes a mistake with this product, it will not cause damage or injure the user. 3. This product prompts the user to pay attention during critical tasks. (Centre for Excellence in Universal Design 2016b). Similar to principles two, three and four above, written or picture instructions would help eliminate these risks for the user. In this respect, the following recommendations could be incorporated to address these shortcomings: One, that there would be someone present when the user was transferring between various surfaces. In particular, a user with an intellectual disability who may not be aware of the errors or hazards when using the board. A user with limited mobility or the infirm would also require support when transferring. Another recommendation would be to warn users of the possibility of trapping their fingers under the board or delicate skin of the elderly when transferring (fig....
