This webinar aims to to revolutionize instructional design, emphasizing inclusivity and global awareness. Aligning with the ‘Instructors as Designers: Considering UX Design in OWI’ series, it introduces innovative approaches from feminist, disability, and transnational studies to enhance UX/UI design in online technical writing. The session explores the challenges of integrating disability considerations into digital environments, highlighting the need for adaptable, evolving design solutions rather than fixed ones. The webinar aims to cultivate a comprehensive design-thinking approach, recognizing the synergy between feminist, disability, and transnational aspects in UX/UI design. Participants will actively deconstruct and analyze existing online platforms, applying feminist, disability, and transnational perspectives. This critical analysis aims to identify areas for design improvement. Interactive exercises include hands-on redesign tasks, focusing on technical writing assignments to apply these perspectives practically. Post-webinar, an online forum will provide a platform for continued discussion, sharing successes, and furthering the development of inclusive technical writing education.
Participants will:
- Develop a holistic design thinking mindset, learning to integrate feminist, disability, and transnational perspectives in UX/UI design
- Acquire practical design strategies, gaining actionable techniques and strategies to adapt and enhance their online technical writing courses
- Embrace an inclusive design approach, critically assessing and questioning default design assumptions
- Establish a collaborative community of practice via a post-webinar online forum to facilitate ongoing dialogue and allowing participants to share implementation successes and collectively advance the field of inclusive technical writing instruction.
