Overview
Overview
Universal Design (UD) is applicable to virtually any product, tool, device, or system we use in our everyday lives. UD is governed by seven principles that should be part and parcel of any design process. Using Storyline 360, I envisioned an eLearning interaction that would serve two purposes:

Explain each of the seven principles of UD, and
Serve as part of a knowledge library that can be referred to at anytime when a refresher is needed.
After completing this interaction, the learner will be able to identify, define, and explain the seven principles of UD.

With these learning outcomes in mind, the interaction was developed in a structured manner where each of the principles can be reviewed by the learner individually. Each principle also has a corresponding example with an image or video demonstrating the principle in action.

Learners can choose to explore the principles in order from number one through seven. The interaction is also meant to serve as part of a knowledge library which the learner can refer to at a later time, thus the ability for learners to choose their own path and not follow a prescribed order was provided. Once learners have reviewed all seven principles, the interaction ends.
