They will also contribute to knowledge translation efforst by preparing resources for expanding the isUD website by developing new solutions, research articles and best practices. Site visits to universally designed buildings will be included. The course will be organized using a problem centered learning approach. Methods of knowledge translation from research to design will be taught through a set of design challenges related to topical issues. Student teams will conduct research, share their knowledge through in-class presentations, develop design strategies, and apply the strategies through design exercises.
