Q

What is universal design for learning?

A

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to designing curricula that eliminates barriers in the learning environment in order to improve educational experiences for all learners.

All aspects of learning are designed to be modified based on various learner needs. These components of learning design include
instructional goals and objectives
methods of instructional delivery
materials used for learning
assessments
154
Q

What is usability?

A

Usability determines how easy a design’s user interface is to use and how functional a product or design is.

Key components of usability assess:
How easy it is for users to learn the basic tasks of the interface;
If users can perform those tasks quickly;
If users can recall performing those tasks after time away from the interface;
The number of errors, the severity of errors, and recovery from errors in the interface; and
If the design satisfies users.

155
Q

What do usability and accessibility have in common?

A

Components for usability evaluation can also be applied to accessibility and UD
Create products that are easy and efficient to use.
Both accessible and universal design are concerned with addressing the needs of users beyond those considered to be “average” or “typical.”
Accessibility increases the chances of more people being able to use a product or design regardless of their abilities, making it more usable
More overlap occurs between usability and accessibility when accessibility practices increase usability for everyone and usability increases accessibility.

156
Q

What differs between usability, accessibility and universal design?

A

Accessible: Focused on those with disabilities
Universal Design: Focused on design for all people
Usability: Focused on a specified set of users
