IHCD Lunch & Learn Lecture: Graham Pullin author of Design Meets Disability June 25th at 12PM Discussion of disability-related design can still feel to be at a basic level. A more sophisticated discourse will require that universal design and disability studies become more informed about the nuances of design, just as design itself needs to become more inclusive. Two approaches together illustrate the diversity of contributions that could yet be made. 'Critical design' means using design to explore issues and ask questions rather than to directly provide solutions to problems: this could unlock new ways of thinking about areas of disability-related design that have become set into traditional responses. |

An IHCD project to create an Inclusive Media for Teens open Badge program this summer submitted to the Digital Media + Learning Competition The Digital Media and Learning Competition is sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, Facebook, Mozilla, the Family On-Safety Initiative, HASTEC and the Born This Way Foundation. We created a Summer program at the Institute for Human Centered Design to develop with a team of 15-23 year olds with disabilities a new guide to digital accessibility tailored for youth. In an intensive program of deep immersion in the details of designing digital environments that work for everyone, IHCD will develop a new Mozilla Badge that will be earned by the IHCD summer youth team and then shared widely to use the Mozilla open badges to get young developers and editors interested in web accessibility. |
