Design adaptations / curricular adjustments

Promotes simple and intuitive design by removing unnecessary features, ensuring easy understanding for all users, and refining activation and feedback to support reliable use.

Explore perceptible information through sensory channels, ensure redundancy and equipment compatibility, and illustrate with an activity sequencer using iconic representations and light feedback.

Minimize effort and complexity in design adaptations by prioritizing function over form. Eliminate unnecessary steps and use assistive strategies, like electric pencil sharpeners, to reduce handling and support learning objectives.

This lecture outlines universal design for learning, proposing three basic principles: multiple participation platforms, multiple representations of information, and multiple forms of expression to motivate diverse learners.

Explore a simple adaptation to not increase friction, improving grade by the fingers for their student Josephite to use in any position.

Explore how a rubber band with three rings guides finger placement on a pencil or phone, improving grip and enabling flexible hand positions for writing in design adaptations.

Use corrugated cardboard in groups to reinforce your piece by interspersing horizontal and vertical pieces for support, or the project will break.

Explore gluing within design adaptations and curricular adjustments to understand its role in shaping practical approaches.
