The IDeA Center has 11 online courses in its continuing education program, each offering 15 hours of continuing education credit. Register anytime! The following 2 courses begin June 3:
UD and Housing 1: Policy and Trends
This course is an introduction to the basic concerns of accessibility and the building codes and standards that address accessibility in housing. The course begins with an overview of accessible housing policies, such as the set-aside approach and adaptable housing, and important trends in housing policy such as visitability. The needs of aging individuals in the housing market are explored as well as the importance of the neighborhood in the universal design of housing. AIA members will receive 15 CEU Credits for completion of this course.
Design for Human Performance
This course examines the concept of human performance, the ability of people to complete activities and tasks, through the investigation of the four key bodies of knowledge that make up human performance: anthropometry, biomechanics, perception, and cognition. Each body of knowledge is summarized in relation to universal design, and key strategies for design are provided. Note: This course replaces Human Factors 1 & 2. AIA members will receive 15 CEU Credits for completion of this course.
The courses will last 4-weeks, 6/3 - 6/30. There is no required log-in time so you can take the courses on your schedule. Courses require about 15 hours of study over the 4-week period, including readings, videos, discussion, projects, and tests. Courses cost $250 (USD) each, plus the cost of textbook (available in e-book or hard copy). The same textbook can be used for multiple courses.
