Orange22 Starbucks Project Part 02: Design Approachdarioantonioni
This document provides a proposal from Orange22 Design Lab to redesign three types of Starbucks stores catering to different customer profiles in Los Angeles. It outlines a modular system using a "kit of parts" that can be combined flexibly. The three store designs are: 1) Starbucks Signature for tourists, 2) My Starbucks for locals, and 3) Starbucks On The Go for commuters. The proposal includes floorplans, furniture, and design concepts for each store type.
Orange22 Starbucks Project Part 01: Brand Strategydarioantonioni
This document outlines a presentation by Orange22 Design Lab to redesign Starbucks stores to shift perceptions from corporate to community. It analyzes Starbucks' brand values and customer perceptions, as well as competitors and other retailers that create experiences. Orange22 proposes designing 3 different store concepts - "Starbucks Signature" for tourists, "My Starbucks" for locals, and "Starbucks On The Go" for commuters. The Signature stores would provide an authentic, theatrical experience through layered design to tell Starbucks' story over a longer visit.
Furniture is the infrastructure for human activity. Every day we sit down at the breakfast table, settle into our desk chairs, open cabinets and drawers, and fall into bed. How can digital technology augment these everyday rituals in subtle, natural and delightful ways?
Juicy Feedback Loops
The term “juicy feedback” comes from game design where a small action produces a surprisingly large reaction. David will present six design principles that anyone can use to motivate healthy behavior. Using these principles his company, Vitality, created a wireless pill cap which is helping people take their daily medications over 90% of the time (from a baseline of 70%). David will also present a framework for tailoring behavioral change programs to offer each person an optimal mix of social feedback, reminders, accountability, education, and financial incentives.
Furniture is the infrastructure for human activity and interaction. New digital technologies are augmenting everyday gestures like opening cabinets and drawers, relaxing, and throwing out trash. Several concepts were presented that integrate digital features into furniture to enhance interactions and share information, including a Skype cabinet for video calls, a Facebook coffee table that displays relevant photos during conversations, an energy clock that provides energy usage feedback, a Pandora chair that selects music based on how the user is sitting, a Google Latitude doorbell that notifies when people are arriving home, and an Amazon trash can that automatically reorders items when they are thrown away.
This document provides guidance on using Facebook to connect soldiers and their families. It recommends Facebook because it is easily accessible and already used by the target audience, allowing two-way communication and notifications about other content. Administrators should have a plan detailing who can post, how often, and approval processes. They should be aware of anonymity and trolls online, keep personal views separate, use block sparingly, and check for misinformation. Important information includes registering pages with the Army and identifying pages as official with required disclaimers.

The schedule provides details on event titles, times, locations, and brief descriptions.
Teaching All Students, Reaching All Learnerstracie
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides a framework for designing instruction that is flexible and accommodates learner differences. UDL principles include providing multiple means of representation, expression and engagement. The presentation provided examples of applying UDL in the classroom through diversifying instructional methods, materials and technologies. It also offered tips for making content more accessible such as using captions, audio descriptions and providing information in multiple formats.
This document provides details about a senior capstone interior design project for establishing residential criteria for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. The project focuses on designing a home for a 6-year-old boy named Easton and his family. Key aspects of the design include creating a calm, orderly environment with reduced stimuli to avoid anxiety, and accommodations that can adapt as Easton ages into adulthood. Floor plans and design boards are presented addressing the client's needs through spatial considerations, lighting strategies, and age-in-place features.
The document discusses image steganography techniques. It begins by defining steganography as concealed writing and distinguishing it from cryptography. It then describes the basic process of embedding a secret message into a cover image to produce a stego-image. Different embedding algorithms are presented, including Least Significant Bit substitution and LSB with randomization. Histograms are used to analyze the differences between cover and stego-images. The document concludes by discussing attackers and techniques to improve robustness, such as LSB matching and Mielikainen's improved LSB matching method.
The document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL), an educational framework that aims to accommodate diverse learners by providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. It notes the increasing diversity in today's classrooms and calls for more flexible approaches to teaching and curriculum design. UDL principles align with differentiated instruction by recommending flexible content, processes, and products to meet varied student needs along a continuum. The document advocates teacher collaboration and use of technology as ways to effectively reach more students through a universally designed curriculum.
Strategies for Getting Administrative and Faculty Buy-In for UDL3Play Media
The twentieth century saw access to higher education broaden in several significant ways. Formerly under-served populations of students were the targets of concentrated efforts to provide opportunities for college study: women, veterans, first-generation college learners, students from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, people with disabilities. To help make educational materials and teaching practices inclusive for all learners, this webinar radically reflects on how to motivate and inspire colleges and universities to adopt Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Presented by Thomas Tobin, the Coordinator of Learning Technologies in the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, this webinar will explore strategies for getting administrative and faculty buy-in for UDL. Thomas will focus on key shifts to make at your institution that will help demonstrate a measurable return on the investment of UDL.
This presentation will cover:
Training staff in Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
How to use UDL principles to increase student retention, persistence, and satisfaction
Motivating the adoption of UDL as part of campus culture
Getting administrative, budgetary, and faculty buy-in for UDL
How to expand the use of UDL elements beyond the legally required minimum

Universal Design is the concept of designing products and environments to be usable by all people without the need for adaptation. When applied to education, Universal Design celebrates diversity and designs for the whole student population rather than just accommodating some. It was presented that Universal Design in education can be implemented through strategies that provide for students with different backgrounds, languages, abilities and disabilities. Specific examples of applying Universal Design principles in education included ensuring classrooms are physically accessible, using multiple instructional methods, accommodating all student needs, and providing regular feedback and assessment using multiple methods.
Universal design aims to create products and environments that can be used by all people without requiring adaptations. Universal design for instruction (UDI) applies this principle to education by designing flexible learning practices that meet all students' needs regardless of ability. UDI aims to keep students on the same level and allow them to demonstrate their understanding to one another through a variety of options. It works to expand learning for a diverse set of students through principles applied to classroom delivery, materials, technology, interactions, and assessments. An essential part of UDI is being welcoming, flexible, and prepared to make accommodations to ensure all students can achieve success.
Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people without the need for adaptation. It is based on seven principles including equitable use, flexibility, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and size and space for approach and use. Universal design for learning provides multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement to give students opportunities to acquire and demonstrate knowledge in various ways with appropriate challenges and motivation.
This presentation discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL aims to make instruction accessible for all students by reducing barriers through flexible design. The three principles of UDL are providing multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. An activity demonstrates applying UDL principles by having students take pictures to demonstrate vocabulary words. Resources mentioned include technology tools, Web 2.0 tools, and examples like UDL Book Builder and UDL Tech Toolkit.

PRESENTER:
Megan O'Neill graduated from Washington University St. Louis with a BA in Architecture and a minor in Art History. Megan was also an architectural intern at HOK in 2010 where she researched and consulted on universal design. In 2011, she worked for the Program of Occupational Therapy at WashU as an assistant lecturer for graduate courses and led a research project on accessibility of the WashU campus based on principles of universal design.
This document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and differentiation. UDL is a method of lesson planning that ensures all students have an equal opportunity to learn by providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement. Differentiation is adjusting teaching methods to meet student needs throughout the lesson. Both aim to meet diverse student needs and provide access to the curriculum. The document explores how UDL requires advance planning while differentiation focuses on adjusting during instruction. It proposes using both UDL and differentiation to anticipate and address varying student needs.
This presentation, created by the National UDL Task Force, provides an introduction to universal design and universal design for learning. It then illustrates how UDL applies to the whole curriculum and how UDL is being supported at the local, state, and federal level.
Educating Students Who Need Intensive Supports in a UDL Environment

Universal design aims to create products that can be used by all people to the greatest extent possible without the need for adaptation or specialized design. It traces its roots to the early 20th century when disabilities were less acknowledged and grew following World War II when veterans returned with disabilities. There are seven principles of universal design including equitable use, flexibility, simple and intuitive operation, and perceivable information. Examples include the "Good Grips" line of kitchen utensils by Oxo designed to be easier for those with limited hand mobility and strength to use as well as voice-activated remote controls that make television operation easier for those with limited mobility.

Housing considerations for_people_with_autismCarl Miller
The document discusses housing considerations for people with autism. It explores how to develop a design brief that meets the complex needs of individuals on the autism spectrum. Key aspects to address include reducing anxiety, enhancing motivation and safety, and accommodating sensory processing issues, compulsions, hypersensitivities and known likes/dislikes. A case study project is described that incorporates these design priorities through features like secure landscaping, robust fittings, personalized equipment, and control of light, noise and distractions.
Vision woodworks, inc maximizing style and function with cabinetryVision Woodworks, Inc
Vision Woodworks is a family-owned custom cabinetry shop that has won numerous awards. They specialize in maximizing style and function through custom cabinetry designs. They discuss various cabinet hardware options and built-in storage solutions that can be implemented in different rooms, such as full extension glides, soft close features, appliance holders, and pop-up monitors. They also compare the benefits of custom cabinetry versus semi-custom.
This document provides a quiz on universal design elements with multiple choice questions and answers. Universal design aims to create homes and features that can be used by all people regardless of age or ability. Key elements include wide hallways and doors, bathrooms with grab bars and adjustable shower heads, and kitchens and bedrooms on the main floor. When remodeling, it is important to choose a contractor certified in universal design who can properly implement these features to create accessible, comfortable living spaces for all.
The document provides 5 tips for universally designing homes:
1. Install easy to use controls and hardware like raised outlets and lever door handles.
2. Provide maneuvering space with wider hallways and doors throughout the home.
3. Create variable and better lighting throughout the home with task lighting and dimmers.
4. Get organized with lots of accessible storage, drawers, and cabinets.
5. Design rooms to be easier to use with considerations for bathrooms and kitchens.
Designing houses for_ people_with_autismCarl Miller
This document discusses designing housing for people with autism. It outlines key considerations like reducing anxiety, enhancing independence, and addressing sensory sensitivities through environmental design. Two purpose-built housing projects in Wales are described that incorporated these principles. Feedback showed the new housing successfully led to reduced challenging behaviors, lower anxiety, and improved quality of life compared to the previous unsuitable accommodation. The document advocates taking an autism-centered, multidisciplinary team approach, and focusing on the individual needs and perspectives of those living there.
This document discusses the concept of "Design for a Lifespan", which refers to designing homes that can accommodate people of all ages, sizes, abilities, and stages of life. It involves creating residences that allow for personal independence, safety, comfort and convenience through all stages from childhood to seniorhood. Features like barrier-free design, universal design, and accessibility make the home suitable for anyone to use to their full extent. The goal is to design homes that people can live in for their entire lives without needing assistance or relocation.
