ZPDI0473 - Using Universal Design in Rapid Prototyping Instructional Design (Online)
Course Description
Using universal design in rapid prototyping instructional design is a concept that involves considering the potential needs of all learners when designing and delivering instruction. IT identifies and eliminates unnecessary barriers to teaching and learning while maintaining academic rigor, and is a foundational skill that all educational technology experts should have. Using universal design in rapid prototyping reduces the time and cost of a traditional ISD approach while increasing its flexibility for all users. This course will help students to analyze, apply and evaluate the concept's principles to develop education and training materials that span a wide range of knowledge domains and instructional technologies.Course Outline
