In module 2, “design principles for effective and accessible multimedia, this topic had deeply investigated Mayer’s principles into the effectiveness, engagement, and all the learning materials. The analysis the impact visual on several ways, such as learning and the learning environment. Through this module, i will be able to create more educational materials that are not only appealing and also creating an inclusive learning environment for all the principles.
What did you find when you ran the WAVE accessibility report on your blog post(s)? What did you expect and what was surprising? Is there anything you will do differently going forward?
here is the screen capture of the WAVE tool, the result demonstrates that i got 12 contrast errors, 2 alerts, 7 features, 19 structural elements, 8 aria and zero errors.

What role do you think media and multimedia can play in a learning environment designed with UDL guidelines in mind? Which of the promising practices for text, images and video are in alignment with these guidelines?
media and multimedia elements are playing an important role in a learning environment, it designed according to the learning design guidelines and UDL as well. In this concept, various forms of media are known as text, images, and video. In all of these forms, the learners can be able to meet all their needs of several different learning styles and abilities. For example, text is one of the forms, which provided a good platform for the learners to access content and find a way to suit their learning style.
What does inclusive design mean to you?
“The design of mainstream products and/or services that are accessible to, and usable by, as many people as reasonably possible … without the need for special adaptation or specialised design. ” This quote is from the British standards institute, which explained the definition of this term.
In my point of view, the inclusive design means a deep commitment to explore benefits from the competition or from the environment. This includes creating environment where diversity cannot be recognized. However, the inclusive design is describing how to create products, and a better learning environment, it can involve accessibility, education and learning concepts for all of the people. This is not only focusing on the learning, also focusing on meet the needs of all the learners. The inclusive design is also about adapting inclusive design patterns, which is related to Interactive and Multimedia, this allows individuals with different abilities, it includes the features such as video subtitles and texts, to perceive and understanding the content.
In addition, the inclusive design principles in the Interactive and Multimedia environments, the learners can create more experiences that can be able to meet all the basic needs and a chance that belonging and engagement among different style learners.
Graphic design is inherently visual – what additions or modifications could you make to ensure that learners with visual impairments have access to the same information in an infographic in an online setting?
First, it is important to provide a clear and concise alternative text descriptions of all the visual elements in the infographic. These descriptions should create more perceived informations in the infographic, so when the learners with visual impairment are reading the screen, they can clearly see the content as all the other learners. Also, use the descriptive alternative text to make sure the learners can be able to access the key concepts and principles, and the date which are representing in the infographic. Combining the tactile graphics, raised the surfaces to demonstrates the different elements and it can also improve the accessibility for the visual impairments learners, in this way, the detailed structured infographics, by this method, the visual impairments learners can also access the informations delivered.
