Question 10

Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:

The design can be used efficiently and comfortably and with a minimum of fatigue

Answer 10

Low physical effort

Question 11

Universal design (the physical world), what principle is this:

Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation and use regardless of user’s body size, posture, or mobility

Answer 11

Size and Space for Approach and Use

Question 12

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Provide a clear line of sight to important elements for any seated or standing user
• Make reach to all components comfortable for any seated or standing user
• Accommodate variations in hand and grip size
• Provide adequate space for the use of assistive devices or personal assistance

Answer 12

Size and space for approach and use

Question 13

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Allow user to maintain a neutral body position
• Use reasonable operating forces
• Minimize repetitive actions
• Minimize sustained physical effort

Answer 13

Low physical effort

Question 14

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Arrange elements to minimize hazards and errors: most used elements, most accessible; hazardous elements, isolated, or shielded
• Provide warnings of hazards and errors
• Provide fail safe features
• Discourage unconscious action in tasks that require vigilance

Answer 14

Tolerance for error

Question 15

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Use different modes (pictoral, verbal, tactile) for redundant presentation of essential information
• Provide adequate contrast between essential information and it’s surroundings
• Maximize “legibility” of essential information
• Differentiate elements in ways that can be described (i.e. make it easy to give instructions or directions)
• Provide compatibility with a variety of techniques or devices used by people with sensory limitations

Answer 15

Perceptible information

Question 16

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Eliminate unnecessary complexity
• Be consistent with user expectations and intuition
• Accommodate a wide range of literacy and language skills
• Arrange information consistent with it’s importance
• Provide effective prompting and feedback during and after task completion

Answer 16

Simple and intuitive use

Question 17

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Provide choice in methods of use
• Accommodate right- or left-handed access and use
• Facilitate the user’s accuracy and precision
• Provide adaptability to the user’s pace

Answer 17

Flexibility in use

Question 18

Guidelines for Universal Design (physical) - name the right principle:

• Provide the same means of use for all users: identical whenever possible; equivalent when not
• Avoid segregating or stigmatizing any users
• Provisions for privacy, security, and safety should be equally available to all users
• Make the design appealing to all users

Answer 18

Equitable(rättvis) use
