Universal Design
SHOULD IT BE DRIVING ONLINE TEACHING AND LEARNING?

Ramps & Curb Cuts
Does this represent all we need to know about Universal Design and Access?

Ramps & Curb Cuts
Does it tell us anything about inclusion?

508 Compliance
In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their
electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities.
Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information
quickly and easily.
![Page 10: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Purpose of 508
• Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.
![Page 11: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Purpose of 508
• The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology.
![Page 12: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
508 and Institutions of Higher Education
• Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ‘ 794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others.
![Page 13: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
508 and Institutions of Higher Education
• Academic Institutions are required to ensure that students, faculty, staff and visitors have access to information and services that is comparable to access available to others.
![Page 14: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GAO reports more students with disabilities in higher education
• Students with disabilities represented nearly 11 percent of all postsecondary students in 2008, according to a federal survey. Moreover, this population appears to have grown, based on selected federal and state data. Government Accounting Office (GAO) summary
![Page 15: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GAO reports more students with disabilities in higher education
• Also, in 2008, students with disabilities were similar to their peers without disabilities with regard to age, race, and the schools they attended.
• Students reported having a range of disabilities in 2008, and the distribution of disability types had changed since 2000. Government Accounting Office (GAO) summary
![Page 16: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Government Accounting Office (GAO) summarySchools also anticipate facing challenges in supporting two growing populations of postsecondary students: veterans with newly acquired disabilities and students with intellectual disabilities.• Friday, October 30,

Universal Design and 508
The principles of Universal design, when applied to teaching and learning, address 508 compliance and provide
good, inclusive and accessible to teaching and learning environments for
all stakeholders
![Page 18: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Universal Design and Higher Education
COURSES, TECHNOLOGY, AND STUDENT SERVICES
ARE TYPICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE “AVERAGE”
STUDENT
![Page 19: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BUT…
UNIVERSAL DESIGN IN EDUCATION PROMOTES THE CONSIDERATION OF PEOPLE WITH A BROAD RANGE OF CHARACTERISTICS IN THE DESIGN OF ALL EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS AND ENVIRONMENTS.
![Page 20: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Universal Design in Education
GOES BEYOND ACCESSIBLE DESIGN FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO MAKE ALL
ASPECTS OF THE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE MORE INCLUSIVE
![Page 21: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

These characteristics include those related to gender, race/ethnicity, age, stature, disability, and learning style.
![Page 23: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
An educational strategy whose time has come
Universal Design is responsive to 21st Century Educational needs and
realities …
![Page 24: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Universal Design Responds to
• CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS OF BOTH LEARNERS AND TEACHERS
• A MORE SOPHISTICATED UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEARNING PROCESS THROUGH NEUROSCIENCE
![Page 25: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
UD Responds to
• A DEEPER CONCERN FOR ACCESS OF ALL TO A DEMOCRATIC AND “QUALITY” EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
• REINFORCEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL ACCESS THROUGH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL STATUTES
![Page 26: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Universal Design Principles
![Page 27: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Universal Design Principles
AS APPLIED TO ONLINE INSTRUCTION
![Page 28: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Core Concepts
Universal Design
![Page 29: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
1. Plan from the start
BY ANTICIPATING AND PLANNING FOR THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF POTENTIAL USERS
DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS, THE RESULTING PRODUCT OR OUTCOME WILL BETTER SUIT THE NEEDS OF ALL USERS
![Page 30: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• WHEN THIS CONCEPT IS APPLIED TO EDUCATION, ALL USERS – INCLUDING INSTRUCTORS – HAVE A BETTER EXPERIENCE
Plan for all users, don’t
retrofit
![Page 31: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A Brief Reminder
Accommodation Universal Design
![Page 32: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
2. Equitable Use
The design of your course is useful and marketable to
people with diverse abilities. It is accessible and fair to all.
![Page 33: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
“Equitable Use” is determined by the question of “Who
Belongs?”
![Page 34: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Equitable Use
• In terms of online teaching, this translates into using accessible technology
• and limiting the number of tools a student is required to have and use.
![Page 35: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
3. Flexibility in Use
Your design accommodates a wide range of individual
preferences and abilities.
![Page 36: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
For online teaching this means:
• Being aware of and providing for multiple formats
• Captioning all audio material
![Page 37: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

5. Perceptible Information
YOUR DESIGN COMMUNICATES NECESSARY INFORMATION EFFECTIVELY TO THE USER, REGARDLESS
OF THE USER'S SENSORY ABILITIES.
![Page 42: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Reminder
• Often, distance students do not know that they are entitled to accommodation and help readily available to on site students.
![Page 47: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
7. Feedback and Modification
YOU CREATE A FEEDBACK LOOP, AND
YOU MODIFY YOUR DESIGN AND CONTENT-DELIVERY BASED ON
STUDENT EXPERIENCE.
![Page 48: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Feedback and Modification
You assess your course design and whether your students are having a successful learning experience using multiple means
![Page 49: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
You incorporate what you learn This “closes the loop” and
results in incremental improvement
In ALL areas of your course
![Page 50: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
These principles can be used in all online educational environments
• Online training• Online workshops• Online conferencing• Online meetings• Any online delivery of information
![Page 52: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Who are the stakeholders?
WHO BENEFITS FROM USING UNIVERSAL DESIGN IN HIGHER EDUCATION?
![Page 53: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
When we talk about creating a true learning community
DO WE REALLY MEAN IT WHEN WE SAY THAT EVERYONE BELONGS?
![Page 54: Online Curb Cuts - AUCD Presentation](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070302/547080aeb4af9f9d0a8b47ae/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
This is the current challenge for Higher Education
As we move into the 21st century
