Welcome to the pudcad e-learning section

The PUDCAD E-Learning Course is a training course that will allow you to learn the principles of Universal Design.
The contents of this platform are the result of a scientific comparison between international academic institutions and the partners of the PUDCAD project.

Lessons are correlated by design experiences and tools such as concept maps and quizzes to  increase  your  knowledge  in a  dynamic and interactive environment. The lessons will be implemented over time thanks to your feedback. You are all invited to contribute to the increase of the e-learning section and our community.
