6 Inclusive design This section reveals the importance of designing things to suit all potential users. Inclusive design (or universal design) means designing products so that they can be used easily by as many people as wish to do so. This may sound an obvious goal, but the fact is that many people – some estimates suggest as many as one-fifth of all adults – have difficulty carrying out ordinary tasks with everyday products. Many elderly and disabled people cannot carry out – certainly with
1.2.1 Your learning style Imagine you are going to learn a new task. It could be laying a laminate floor, following a new recipe or learning to use a new TV remote control. How do you approach the task? Approach 1 Do you sit down with the instructions and read them through before trying? Approach 2 Do you get stuck in to the task straight away? Do you ask others for help and then move on to a new task as soon as this one is complete?

2.1 Introduction In the unit overview we explored some of the images and discourses about young people's health currently in circulation. But what assumptions are being made in these stories about what it means for a young person to be healthy, whether physically or mentally? What kind of model of wellbeing is being used in these discourses, and are there alternative approaches?
BIM + UAV Assessment of Roofs? Solar Potential
This paper describes a novel method for determining the capacity to generate solar energy integrated into the roofs of buildings by
aerial survey using UAVs and BIM models for sizing the covering surfaces and integration of solar panels. Various digital procedures
are enchained like planning of trajectories, image processing, geometric reconstitution, simulation of solar radiation and calculation
of energy generation to promote on-site installation of clean energy sources in existing building
1 Rule making in England and Wales One of the most important functions of any legal system is to state the legal rules by which the society in question is to operate. Legal rules are not necessarily the only codes which prescribe social behaviour (morals and etiquette are others), but legal rules are distinct in that they constitute an official code which has the backing of state powers of enforcement and sanctions. This course explores the major sources of legal rule making in England and Wales – the Westminster Parliament.

1.7.1 European citizenship The EU is an economic, juridical and, to an extent, political reality. But is it a public space in the sense of an arena in which groups and individuals vigorously exchange symbolic messages of different types? It would appear as if, while the public of most EU countries are willing to accept ever closer economic union (including a common currency and even political convergence), when it comes to historical memories, social organisation and cultural ideas (including religion), they are mostly

Khan Academy: Chemistry 2 App for iOS 5.6 Design Designing a distributed system can also be a problem, for example the fact that computers in a distributed system are joined by communication media which can stretch over thousands of miles provides an added dimension to the design process in that response time can be a problem. Another, equally serious problem is that of reliability, for example the fact that a hardware malfunction can bring down a poorly-designed distributed system.

This immediately creates two problems. If I were Philip's tutor I would find it difficult to weigh up his essay against the challenge he was actually set. The title he has made up is not a good one, so it weakens his essay from the outset. Philip's title doesn't pose a question for him to answer. S
