Product Analysis: Universal Design Principles - 20 products with structured writing frame (digital classroom resource)
Designed for use in schools
This is a digital download resource.
ABOUT
This resource is designed for use in schools. It consists of 20 product analysis slide handouts that can be used in a range of different ways e.g. classroom or homework activity, for recall activities or to introduce learning, discussion prompts, note taking structure, low stakes test, as part of a display, or in any other way that supports learning.
This resource focuses on a range of products that embrace the 7 universal design principles. These were developed in 1997 by a group of architects, engineers, environmental design researchers and product designers. They provide a guide for designers and consumers for evaluating existing designs, as well as for guiding the design process to ensure usable products and environments that are accessible to a wide range of users are created.
The resource has a slide that summarises the 7 principles of universal design plus 20 slides each with an example of a different product designed with universal design in mind. These slides have an image with a structured writing frame to provide thinking prompts. This includes keywords as well as questions linked to the 7 principles.
The resource is not designed for a particular age group and aims to be flexible in how it is used e.g. classroom or homework activity, for recall activities or to introduce learning, discussion prompts, low stakes test or in any other way that supports learning. The resource may be more suited to olde students as some of the questions are more challenging.
A free resource titled ‘Design Contexts: Universal Design’ is available and might be used alongside this resource.
