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. By the end of this
class, students will be able to…

   - Articulate the ethical, philosophical, and practical aspects of
   Universal Design as a method and movement – both in general and as it
   relates to their specific work and life circumstances
   - Demonstrate the specific pedagogical, ethical, and customer service
   benefits of using Universal Design principles to develop and recreate
   library spaces and services in order to make them more broadly accessible
   - Integrate the ideals and practicalities of Universal Design into
   library spaces and services via a continuous critique and evaluation cycle
