ASIP-UD-3 Principles of Universal Design

Universal design employs seven (7) principles that designers must consider. When these principles are carefully applied, they increase the number of people that can access and participate in an endeavor.

Scenario: Let's learn about these in more detail, using an example to illustrate the principles. Yasmin is working as a Software Development Intern. She is working on a project to research a new technology, "ASIPStudio", and present her findings back to the team. Let's examine how Yasmin has considered the principles of universal design in her project.

Instruction: Click on each principle to learn how Yasmin implemented it in her project.
