Universal Design Primer
A Primer on Universal Design (UD) in Education Dave L. Edyburn, Ph.D. The purpose of this web page is to provide a brief introduction to the applications of universal design in education (also known as: Universal Design for Learning). Links to additional resources are provided for teachers and administators interested in more information. Scroll down the page or click on the links in the interactive outline: I. II. III. IV. Monitoring new developments in UD I. A. The roots of universal design is found in accessible design of the physical environment. A second arena in which universal design principles have been applied is the field of web page design. Most recently, the concepts of universal design have evolved in a new direction. B. Rather than thinking about disability as a distinct group of learners, CAST suggests it is more helpful to think about learners on a continuum. C. UD is an important framework for both research and practice. II. A. B. III. A. B. C. D. UDtemplate8.doc IV. A.
Keeping Your Eye on the Search
Given the importance of visual elements in elearning, it’s interesting to note that many instructional designers rely heavily on text-based research at the outset of a project and then consider visual elements when the text-based content has been developed. However, conducting text-based searches in parallel with media searches can allow you to find information and discern patterns that you might have missed with a traditional approach. Expanding your search engine horizons In addition to searching the image and video collections of standard search engines, like Google and Bing, there are a number of search engines that create different visual outputs of a search. These can help you broaden your outlook on any given research topic. ViewziViewzi gives you the option to view your search results in a number of different formats including: and many more. RedZ A RedZ search allows you to pan through a gallery of web screenshots, if you’re in Web view, to find relevant content. Spacetime 3D
Bridge to Learning » Blog Archive » Vygotsky and Personal Learni
I have a 18 year old intern student, Jo Turner-Attwell, working for me. When I was in Vienna at the ECER conference, I left her the task of looking at Vygotky’s work in relation to Personal Learning Environments. This is part of the research we are undertaking in the Mature-ip project. And here is her summary. Pretty good start I think! “Vygotsky died in 1934, almost a century ago, however his theories are becoming more relevant than they ever were during the course of his live. The zone of proximal development is the area between what an individual can achieve on their own and what they can achieve with assistance. The method of scaffolding has been developed from Vgotsky’s theories. This links in well with the concept of Personal Learning Environments or PLEs. A more significant problem I had was how one standardised PLE system could be used to support different types of students, particularly those who were better with practical studies.
mHealth and Patient Education for the 83%
As noted in a previous post, while smartphones represent an exciting tool for patient education and the support of health-directed behaviors, 80% of Americans don’t have smartphones. What are the opportunities for mlearning for health when it comes to this population? Remembering the larger picture If you feel stymied by the limitations of non-smartphones, remember that mhealth services should be part of a larger picture of patient-centered services and that this larger picture includes human beings—doctors, nurses, and support networks of patients and patient advocates. Face-to-face learning opportunities in a physician’s office are critical to helping patients develop better health strategies. goal-settingreflections on progressaccess to social networks for support and adviceaccess to resources for evaluating the credibility of online informationaccess to health-care providersaccess to personal health records (PHRs) How can mobile phones be integrated into this larger learning strategy?

Health Literacy Month and e-Patients: A Ways to Go
It’s probably appropriate that right on the heels of the e-Patient Connections 2010 conference that we enter health literacy month. If the conference, and the e-patient movement more generally, point to a population of active and engaged patients, health literacy month reminds us that there’s much to be done when it comes to creating effective physician-patient partnerships and helping patients take charge of their own wellness and health care decisions. As stated (or restated) by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (2010), “‘health literacy’ is a person’s capacity to find, understand, and use basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” As noted in a previous post, health literacy and overall literacy are not the same thing. Six steps for creating patient-friendly communications When creating materials to support health education, it’s worth remember the AMA’s six steps for improving doctor-patient communications (AMA, 2003): U.S.
