17 Accessibility & Universal DESIGN
As you begin working in Pressbooks, it is important to keep the aspects of accessibility and universal & design in mind.
Universal Design
- Many students have hearing, physical, cognitive, and/or sensory disabilities that impact the ways in which they learn
- One-size-fits-all fail to account for this learner diversity
- Alternatively, classroom materials can be designed and developed in ways to make them inherently accessible
- Universal Design means a concept/philosophy for designing and developing product and services that are directly useable
