“Plus-one” design

“Plus-one” design means that, for every learning interaction an additional option is provided.

“Plus-one” design is more than just providing access to learners who have disabilities. All learners are more engaged when they have choices, and control, over how, when, and where they learn. Multi-modal learning supports learners’ preferences and gives them flexibility.

Many people benefit from features like captions, and content that is available on multiple devices, and in varied modalities, for both convenience and personal preference.
For example, a person who wants to watch a video on the train or after the kids are asleep can use captioning and keep the sound off.;

Functional Performance Criteria

Visual mode

Be usable with limited vision and without vision or colour perception

Limited vision: Some users will need features that enable them to make better use of their limited vision
Without vision: Some users need least one mode of operation that does not require vision
