IDeA Registration for Online Courses Available - Register by March 23rd!

The IDeA Center is now offering the next two courses in its online continuing education program. 

1. Core Courses II: Universal Design Principles & Practices This course introduces universal design as part of the phenomenon of innovation. Universal design is viewed as an evolutionary process that functions within a social ecology that varies by industry. The readings introduce students to the most widely adopted definition of universal design through the construction of seven principles and associated guidelines. Additional readings reformulate the Principles of Universal Design for use in building and urban design and provides extensive best practice guidelines and examples of how those Principles can be applied. Additional articles describe how the process of innovation can be used to understand how to introduce universal design into the marketplace and how that process might play out differently in different industries, as well as provide more detailed case studies of noteworthy universal designs, the companies that produced them and the basis for their success.
2. Special Topic: Home Modifications (NEW) This course introduces participants to the basic issues of home modification design and provides information and tools for delivering service using universal design guidelines. Common home modification needs and solutions will be presented and discussed through illustrations and several case study examples.

 

Registration is now open for both courses and will be available until March 23, 2011. Both courses begin March 28, 2011, are entirely online and continue for 4 weeks.
