Design for All

The aim of the course ‘Design for all’ is to present students with issues and concepts related to accessibility, universal design, design for all, and inclusive design. The course covers general principles of design for all, examples of accessible human-computer interaction, and methods for designing accessible human-centered systems. In the context of the course, students have the opportunity to develop issues concerning the necessity of universal design, ethical issues, legal restrictions and directions, standards and good practices, in relation to global reality. Finally, in the course, accessible system design exercises are carried out and projects are developed that take into account the needs of a wide range of the population.

After completing the course, the student will be able to:

• present the importance of design for all and the importance of this approach.
• identify the needs of various groups that are often not taken into account in the planning process, for example people with visual impairments, cognitive impairments, mobility impairments, the elderly.
• adopt design processes and methodologies for all.
• develop arguments to support design for all in various design scenarios.
• design interactive systems that take into account the needs of a wide range of the population.
