  WEBCAST THURSDAY: Improving Mobility by Assisting Cognition: A Case Study w/ Romain Delgrange @A11yVR @AllySIG @romain_dlg #cognitivescience #XRAccess #XR #a11y 

  On Thursday July 1 2020 at 7am EDT (11:00 UTC) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Improving Mobility by Assisting Cognition: A Case Study‘ on Mozilla Hubs. To date, existing navigational aids (mobile apps, GPS) remain weakly adapted to the cognitive needs of human beings. This is especially true for people with cognitive disabilities, who face specific difficulties when it comes to finding one’s way in the city. Romain Delgrange will present a new study assessing the effectiveness and usability of a prototypal aid designed to meet the needs of people with cognitive disabilities. The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).

  WEBCAST TODAY: Report launch: Anchoring the African Internet Ecosystem @ISOC_Africa #IXPs @michukis @InternetSociety @MichaelKende Sylvie LaPerrière @Google @benliquidkenya Muhammed Rudman #IXPN 

  On Tuesday 23 June 2020 at 13:00 UTC the Internet Society hosts a webinar to mark the release of a new report ‘Anchoring the African Internet Ecosystem: Lessons from Kenya and Nigeria’s Internet Exchange Points Growth’. Between 2012 and 2020, a vibrant community in Kenya and Nigeria, dedicated to Internet peering, helped dramatically boost the levels of Internet traffic that is locally exchanged from 30% to 70%. This has led to significant cost savings for participating networks. It has also positioned these two countries as the primary regional peering hubs in East and West Africa. This webinar’s speakers are some of the people, representing the key players, that contributed to the success.

  Michuki Mwangi, Regional Development Manager for Africa, Internet Society
  Michael Kende, Senior Fellow and Visiting Lecturer, Graduate Institute, Geneva
