DESCRIPTION
Research tools and outputs often rely heavily on visual presentations of data, which can lead to accessibility barriers. UNICEF Innocenti partnered with Perkins Access and the developers of the EPPI-Mapper to create an evidence and gap mapping tool that not only is more accessible for users, but generates a more accessible visualization map of research evidence. Officially launching at SightTechGlobal, this breakout session will explore the motivation behind the EPPI-Mapper’s redevelopment, the accessibility considerations that enhanced its usability, the next steps to continue improving the tool’s accessibility and the implications raised for all types of research. Join the team behind the tool to learn more and get your questions answered, so you can start creating your own, accessible evidence gap maps.
