After understanding the principles of Universal Instructional Design and Universal Design for Learning, I realized some shortcomings of my previous designs and found ways to improve my future design.

First and foremost, the principle that impressed me most is that I should offer more than one specific way to show my content. In my previous design experience, I mainly considered my professor as the audience. As a result, I only provide the experiment result and useful conclusion in my presentation and reports. However, in the future, I would also think about my classmates and other people that might be interested in my research. Therefore, I should also include more background introduction to my future project. Also, I would provide some useful short videos in case people are bored with massive data and formulas. What is more, it is also important to include some graphs which can illustrate my result clearly.

Besides, I should also offer people more choices to participate in my project. Previously, the only way they could participate in my project was that I would ask whether they had questions and they could express their problems by asking some questions face-to-face. I think in the future, I might include some ways that people could participate online. For instance, in the future, I would also post my content on the blog so that other researchers could view my project.
