Design adaptations / curricular adjustments

Explore universal design as a framework to create accessible environments and products, guided by seven principles like equitable use, flexibility, simple and intuitive use, and perceptible information.

Explore equitable use by designing for the largest number of users, regardless of abilities, with simple, adaptable solutions like accessible remotes and contrast-friendly apps.

Design for flexibility in use, ensuring affordable options that accommodate diverse abilities and preferences. The lecture uses pencils, prosthetics, and adaptable interfaces to enhance accuracy, speed, and usability.

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.

Develop safe, engaging environments by applying tolerance for error to manage imperfect information, enrich experience, and use auditory feedback linked to icons, returning the icon to origin on mistakes.

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.

Explore how size and space considerations influence approach and use in design adaptations, guiding accessible placements of furniture and devices to fit diverse bodies, movements, and virtual environments.

Examine iconicity—the use of images to convey meaning and accelerate understanding through immediate visual perception. Identify how the triadic relation of object, interpreter, and sign shapes interpretation.

Explore how image functions as a channel for information, with unitary encoding, color and typography, shaped by perception, imagination, context, and prior experience for clear meaning.

Explore how iconicity and visual perception shape image composition by balancing equilibrium, reducing tension, and labeling elements to convey clear meaning within visual communication.

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.

Design adaptations and curricular adjustments for participation recognize that learning travels in directions, set objectives and measurable benchmarks, and use a one to five scale to track peer interaction.

Design adaptations for curricular adjustments empower inclusive participation by matching activity demands to motor difficulties, using observations, movement steps, sensory needs, and a simple student profile; for example, switch-controlled audio.

Explore design adaptations and curricular adjustments to support diverse students, including blind learners, through iteration, models and miniatures, and material choices across geography, art, and history.

Link objectives with actions through a solid architecture to guide logistics, planning, and preventive steps for successful adaptations in learning and training.

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

Explore design adaptations for rubber band dissociation to disassociate finger movement and pressure during riding, applying Montaigne's ideas to create a more fluid line.

Investigate how a rubber band 6 ring setup adapts to different positions to improve stability in design adaptations and curricular adjustments.

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.

The Gardner bracelet guides writing movement with the thumb and index finger, reducing pressure on the paper and improving the grip.

Explore measures for design adaptations and curricular adjustments, focusing on assessing and implementing changes in course design.

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

Shape and pieces are examined within design adaptations and curricular adjustments, offering a concise overview of how design elements relate to curriculum planning.

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

Observe Ben's repeated actions and 'OK' confirmations to illustrate how design adaptations drive curricular adjustments and how to cover the piece.
