Abstract
Inclusive design is the practice of creating design works that are accessible and usable by as many people as possible. While all audiences benefit from inclusive design, most importantly, inclusive design helps the underserved populations such as seniors and people with disabilities. FIT’s CT&D subject area offers digital product design, user experience design, and digital typography courses all of which share a common core of an iterative design process which was designed to maximize the design considerations for inclusiveness, at the same time, stimulate design innovations that produce transformative work that fosters positive social changes. This paper introduces the theoretical framework of teaching inclusive design, the implementation of it in FIT’s Creative Technology & Design (CT&D) program area, and demonstrating the learning outcomes through case study of student projects, assignments, and in-class exercises. Prof. C.J. Yeh and Prof. Christie Shin will also discuss the challenges and opportunities of teaching inclusive design in college-level design courses.
