Welcome to this edition of the Design Talk podcast.
We are joined today Niall Flaherty, an Educational Technologist in UCD with a deep interest in accessibility for learning.
Niall has been involved in developing teaching practice guidelines for the design of learning experiences; from teaching materials through to teaching approaches.

Discussion points:
●\tTo start off with Niall, can you talk about the audience for accessible learning materials and experiences in UCD? (size, composition, needs).
●\tThe Universal Design principles are?
●\tAnd Responsive Design is?
●\tThe difference between App and web-based?
●\tDoes the Responsive Design address Universal Design principles? Is it as simple as using responsive design technology and CSS (cascading style sheets)?
