Stangl, A., Verma, N., Fleischmann, K.R., Morris, M.R. and Gurari, D., 2021, October Going beyond
one-size-fits-all image descriptions to satisfy the information wants of people who are blind or have
low vision. In Proceedings of the 23rd International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers
and Accessibility (pp. 1-15).



Read the above article and respond to the following questions. Question 1




1.1 Explain to a novice educator on, what does a one size fits all approach mean in
teaching.


According to “Asset ’21, October 18–22, 2021, Virtual Event, USAAbigale Stangl, Nitin Verma,
Kenneth R. Fleischmann, Meredith Ringel Morris, and Danna Gurari,” a one-size-fits-all approach
in teaching refers to a standardized method where the same instructional strategies,
materials, and assessments are used for all students, regardless of their individual learning
needs, preferences, or contexts. This approach assumes that all students will benefit equally
from a uniform teaching style and content delivery.

In the context of image description technologies, this approach would mean providing the
same type and level of detail in image descriptions for all users, without considering their
specific needs or the particular context in which they encounter the images. However,
research has shown that this method can be inadequate, especially for people who are blind
or visually impaired (BLV), as it often fails to address their unique requirements for
understanding and interpreting images. Instead, a more effective approach involves tailoring
the content and detail of descriptions based on the specific scenarios and preferences of the
users, ensuring that the provided information is both relevant and helpful in each unique
context.
