It\u2019s easy to make assumptions about what learners need based on our own perspective. We are learners too. We know what we like and need when it comes to learning, but we don\u2019t know everything. We can\u2019t<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Other learners have different needs to ours. Other learners have different perspectives. One learning experience could be great for us, while others experience roadblocks or confusion. We can only find out what others experience when we do some investigating beyond our own perspective. We need to dig deeper than our own backyard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Other learners have needs different to mine. Other learners have different perspectives and abilities too. A learning experience might be trouble-free for me, but others could experience roadblocks, confusion or disengagement from the same event. I can only find out what others experience when I do some investigating beyond my own perspective. I need to dig deeper than my own backyard.<\/p>\r\n
Here are some fundamental tips for designing digital learning with accessibility in mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
User experience testing for learning is about engaging users to do some testing of the learning designs to obtain feedback. Feedback will help to inform improvements to the design and ultimately make the final product a better experience for learners. Ideally user testing happens before a learning event is rolled out and during the design process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
User experience testing takes time. Sometimes when timeframes are short it can be tempting to omit or modify testing, but this often happens at the expense of good results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
