Inclusive design: the product and the process
Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2019, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Location: Glass 101 – Hutchens Auditorium
Categories: Beginner, Content, Usability
When we start thinking not only about “accessibility” but also about inclusive design, we increase the diversity of perspectives in the design process. This leads to better products.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll look at how to incorporate people with disabilities into our design process and dig deep into practical techniques you can use to make your products more inclusive, and ultimately easier to use for everyone.
In this mini-workshop you will:
- Use inclusive design as a tool for innovation
- Learn techniques for implementing inclusive design
- Identify opportunities to integrate people with disabilities into your design process
