  3. What is Universal Design? The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.  This concept was born out of architecture and design, but has great potential to impact disability-related access(drc.arizona.edu) Images courtesy of mile.mmu.edu

  4. What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)? • A “set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn” (udlcenter.org). • Does not assume the existence of homogenized class, but instead offers flexibility for teaching students with a variety of learning styles and needs.

  6. Student’s Guide Language for Visual Analysis Focus: What parts of the image are clearly in focus? Are some out of focus? Why? Balance:Is the visual weight on one side of the photograph about the same as the other? Contrast: Are there strong visual contrasts: lights, darks, shadows? Dominance: What is the first thing you notice? Why is your attention drawn there? Angle: From what vantage point was the photo taken/scene shot? Framing:Describe the edges of the view. Scale: Discuss the size of the object within the work.

  7. Seven Principlesof Universal Design: • Equitable use: The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities • Flexibility in use: The design accommodates a wide range of preferences and abilities. • Simple and intuitive use: Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. • Perceptible information: The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities. • Tolerance for error: The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. • Low physical effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortable and with a minimum of fatigue. • Size and space for approach and use: Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility (drc.arizona.edu).
