Multiple Means of Representation:
How to make Lectures that are more universally designed.
1) Lectures
•What are the strengths of lectures?
•What are the weaknesses of lectures?

Multiple Means: Lectures
Expressivity voice gesture facial
Immediacy live

Strengths:
Multiple Means: Lectures
1) Comprehension Structure is implicit, information is impermanent, sequential, un-reviewable
2) LanguageRequires English fluency, relevant vocabulary, listening skills.
3) Perceptual Requires excellent hearing, auditory processing, vision.
Potential Barriers: Representational
