Universal Design is the idea of designing products, places, and experiences
to make them accessible to as broad a spectrum of people as possible,
without requiring special modifications or adaptations. This course will
present an overview of universal design as a historical movement, as a
philosophy, and as an applicable set of tools. Students will learn about
the diversity of experiences and capabilities that people have, including
disabilities (e.g. physical, learning, cognitive, resulting from age and/or
accident), cultural backgrounds, and other abilities. The class will also
give students the opportunity to redesign specific products or environments
to make them more universally accessible and usable.
