Check a Design against a User Need

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil; answers may also be spoken or typed.
• All cases, labels, numbers and rules are supplied on this page. No real account, private information or purchase is needed.

Learn the idea

A design should help a person complete a task. The same control can create different barriers for different users. Our paper test states a need and asks for the matching change. Test the change against the task instead of adding decorations that do not address the barrier.

Choose an improvement directly linked to the supplied access need. A larger picture does not solve a sound-only instruction problem.

Use this supplied case: Instructions exist only as audio and the learner cannot hear them. Which change meets the stated need? Use the details in this example. An adult may read the words aloud. Point, draw or say your answer.

1. Follow the worked example one step at a time. Say or draw what happens.
2. Choose an improvement directly linked to the supplied access need.
3. Say which detail makes the example answer fit. Pick another answer and say why it does not fit.
4. Try the question and practice questions. Read the rule again if your answer does not match the explanation.

Check your reasoning

Your answer is temporary and is not saved to an account. Download your current answer before leaving or reloading. Written work on paper or in another app stays in your own file.

Take it further

A task reports success only with sound. Expected: add equivalent text status so hearing is not required; retain the same reported result.

Nothing here is saved to an account or sent to a teacher. The answer download includes your current choice and any checked feedback. It does not include choices from the separate More practice section. Download that section separately.
