Ethics
Through Their Eyes
Breaking Barriers
Bias in Focus
100
This framework provides multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression to accommodate all learners.
What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
100
This classic experiment involves deciding whether to sacrifice one person to save many, illustrating the complexity of making decisions that impact others.
What is the Trolley Problem?
100
This design principle involves understanding the needs and experiences of users.
What is designing with empathy?
100
Closed captions on videos help users with this type of disability.
What is hearing impairment?
100
When a design unintentionally favors one group over another, it reflects this.
What is bias?
200
This term describes instruction that considers the individual needs of students within the same learning environment.
What is differentiated instruction?
200
In this phase of the ADDIE model, ethical considerations might include ensuring that learner data is handled responsibly and considering how content may impact learners' well-being.
What is the Analysis Phase?
200
This key difference separates perspective-taking, where designers imagine a user’s experience, from perspective-getting, which involves directly gathering insights from the user.
What is that perspective-taking is based on assumptions, while perspective-getting relies on direct input from users?
200
This technology allows visually impaired users to interact with text-based content.
What is a screen reader?
200
AI systems can replicate societal inequalities due to this type of bias in data
What is algorithmic bias?
300
Differentiated instruction tailors learning experiences based on these three aspects.
What are content, process, and product?
300
This term describes the practice of questioning how tools and technologies impact learners, especially when making design choices.
What is Interrogation?
300
This approach to empathy involves piloting a product or service to experience it as the user would.
What is simulation or prototyping?
300
What accessibility concern does this design present for users with visual impairments?
What is low contrast?
300
Failing to account for diverse cultural perspectives in design can lead to this problem.
What is cultural exclusion?
400
An example of this UDL guideline is offering audio and visual formats of the same material.
What is multiple means of representation?
400
This process involves reflecting on one’s own ethical perspective and adjusting the design to address potential harms and benefits during the project.
What is Reflection-in-action?
400
Directly observing users in their environment to understand their challenges is known as this research method.
What is user observation?
400
Designs that work across various devices, from desktops to smartphones, exemplify this principle.
What is responsive design?
400
This term describes the assumption that one’s own cultural norms are universal in design.
What is ethnocentrism?
500
This principle of UDL ensures that learners can demonstrate knowledge in multiple ways.
What is multiple means of action and expression?
500
This process involves analyzing the risks and benefits of a design, especially considering how to minimize harm to learners.
What is Ethical Analysis?
500
This practice involves building in checkpoints during the design process to test, research, and adapt a product, rather than waiting until it is completed to ensure inclusivity.
What is iterative design?
500
This international standard outlines best practices for digital accessibility.
What are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)?
500
To reduce bias, designers can use this process of involving users from diverse backgrounds throughout the design lifecycle.
What is participatory design?
