OPENING

Welcome to this edition of the Design Talk podcast.
We are joined today Niall Flaherty, an Educational Technologist in UCD with a deep interest in accessibility for learning.
Niall has been involved in developing teaching practice guidelines for the design of learning experiences; from teaching materials through to teaching approaches.
-----
Discussion points:
●To start off with Niall, can you talk about the audience for accessible learning materials and experiences in UCD? (size, composition, needs).
●The Universal Design principles are?
●And Responsive Design is?
●The difference between App and web-based?
●Does the Responsive Design address Universal Design principles? Is it as simple as using responsive design technology and CSS (cascading style sheets)?
●What is UCD’s position on accessibility for learning? (UCD’s response and obligations under the Disability Act, 2005)
●Relate website accessibility principles to LMS (Learning Management System) functionality (Brightspace, Moodle, UCD sisweb/infohub)
