Teaching Universal Design
The pages listed below contain descriptions of teaching
content that other educators have created and used. They are presented
here as models to give other people ideas of how they may create their
own quality educational experiences in universal design. Some of these
materials are from programs that no longer exist; but they represent teaching
approaches we hope will be useful to you.
- Program Overviews
- These are graduate programs, undergraduate majors, and certificate
programs.
- Course or Studio
Outlines- These include both stand-alone courses devoted to the
topic of universal design, and courses whose content integrates universal
design issues and values into the overall course content.
- Course Projects,
Units or Lectures - These are independent units that may be incorporated
into a number of courses. They vary widely in length. A unit can be
a single lecture, a week-long sketch problem, or a several-week project.
- Student Research or
Thesis Projects - These are examples of outstanding student projects
(submitted with the recommendation of the faculty member).
- Short Events
- These include workshops, seminars, and institutes; design charettes;
design competitions; and exhibits. They are characterized by their
time-limited quality; they are not ongoing activities.
- Teaching
Techniques - These include teaching techniques that accommodate
teachers with disabilities and/or unique styles, or that accommodate
students with disabilities and/or unique learning styles. They also
include processes educators have used to engage the end user, and
methods by which educators have evaluated programs, projects, events,
or the attitudes of participants.
