Module 4 – Inclusive Design and Innovation
IN THIS LESSON
Design choices can unintentionally create barriers. Universal design encourages entrepreneurs to think about accessibility from the outset, rather than trying to adapt a solution only after people have been excluded.
In this lesson, you'll explore how physical, digital, language, and economic accessibility can shape who is able to use and benefit from a product, service, or initiative. You'll also consider how designing for a wider range of people can make social innovations more inclusive and increase their potential impact.
As you watch, consider:
Who might currently face barriers to accessing or using your solution?
What physical, digital, language, or economic barriers could you address?
How could considering accessibility from the beginning improve your solution for everyone?
