• Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment so that it can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their age, size or disability• Disability Act, 2005

• Universal design is an approach to design that honours human diversity. It addresses the right for everyone – from childhood into their oldest years – to use all spaces, products and information, in an independent, inclusive and equal way. It is a process that invites designers to go beyond compliance with access codes, to create excellent, people centred design.• Elaine Ostroff

• Sustainable design includes environmental, economical, ethical and social considerations in product, service and environmental development
• Universal design is therefore an integral part of sustainable design

• Provide the same means of use for all users: identical whenever possible; equivalent when not
• Avoid segregating or stigmatising any users
• Provisions for privacy, security and safety should be equally available to all users
• Make the design appealing to all users

• Four Principles of Accessibility• Perceivable• Operable• Understandable• Robust
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Version 2.0)

• Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• This means that users must be able to perceive the information being presented (it can't be invisible to all of their senses)
Ciarán O'Leary 27
![Page 28: Universal Design, Education and Technology](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5495ef06ac7959342e8b4fb9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• This means that users must be able to operate the interface (the interface cannot require interaction that a user cannot perform)
Ciarán O'Leary 28
![Page 29: Universal Design, Education and Technology](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/5495ef06ac7959342e8b4fb9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.
• This means that users must be able to understand the information as well as the operation of the user interface (the content or operation cannot be beyond their understanding)
Ciarán O'Leary 29

• Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
• This means that users must be able to access the content as technologies advance (as technologies and user agents evolve, the content should remain accessible)

• Ageing• “Global ageing is changing the social and
economic nature of the planet”• US Census Bureau
• The increase in elderly people means that 15% of Europeans have a disability, including age-related disabilities
• This figure will increase by 1% per year over the next 20 years
• People with disabilities need to be catered for to become more independent

• “Good method for individual research and learning the main aspects such as seven principles of Universal Design in a real world product, domain or service. Rather than just learning through theory classes.”
35Ciarán O'Leary

• “The module's message goes far beyond the boundaries of the Assistive Technologies course.”
• “Reduce the amount of detail presented in favour of focusing on the spirit, the module after all is of a philosophical nature.”

Tom’s in-car navigation system automatically calculates possible routes home for him, depending on his current location. Today, it has determined nine different routes, which Tom would like to be read out by the system, ordered by distance. Show how the quicksort algorithm could organise the following distances, from highest to lowest.

Mary’s grandchildren bought her a personal computer for her 80th birthday, and have shown her how to visit online stores to make purchases. To compare prices on different websites, Mary uses software which records prices when clicked, and then displays prices in order on the top of the screen. Show how this software would use the quicksort algorithm to order the following prices, from lowest to highest:

• Universal Design is about good design
• Universal Design processes need to be brought to maturity, to lead to better technology
