Universal design to a learning environment-object adding network as condition and data visualization as framework to provide universal access

Abstract

This paper focus on grounding two elements articulated to design a Virtual-learning environment-object based in universal access and universal design. First, it proposes to understand a learning environment as a digital artifact itself. Secondly, it appropriates the principles of universal design to draw it. The investigation has the assumption to add the network as condition and data visualization as a framework to generate a universal design to learning space, modeling it in the online Educational Design course running by Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). The investigation is a qualitative research based in a combination of design, design thinking methods and netnographic. Expected result is a roll of conceptual and practical guidelines to multidisciplinary group to build a learning virtual environment-object based in universal design, networks and data visualization to provide universal access.
