Please have a look at topics and learning outcomes drafts (as well as agenda items) for the following proposed modules:

- Module 1: User Research and Requirements
  https://deploy-preview-340--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/user-research-and-requirements/
- Module 2: Colors, Styles, and Animations
  https://deploy-preview-340--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/colors-styles-and-animations/
- Module 3: Layout and Spacing
  https://deploy-preview-340--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/layout-and-spacing/
- Module 4: Navigation and Interaction
  https://deploy-preview-340--wai-curricula.netlify.app/curricula/designer-modules/navigation-and-interaction/

Please note this is a first subset of modules. We will be discussing the next subset of modules in the coming weeks.

Agenda:

agenda+ Sequence for first module "User research and requirements".

The module is based on different tasks within user research (researching, gathering requirements) and specifics on working with
people with disabilities. But working with people with disabilities could apply to user research and to gathering requirements. Is
this topic structure communicating a wrong message that people with disabilities are only involved in usability testing and not
before?

agenda+ Is "Colors, Styles, and Animations" the best place to discuss 2.3.3 animation from interactions?

Flashing and motion animations are crucial features as they can create seizures or physical reactions, so it could make sense to
have them together at the very beginning of the sequence. However, 2.3.3 requires user interaction, and we discuss interaction more
in depth in future modules. Could discussing 2.3.3 at this stage be confusing.

agenda+ Missing Examples of Visual Patterns

We are using "distinguishable styles" in several places, but we are not providing specific  examples of how different page regions
or user interface controls should look like. This might be too vague, but WCAG does not get much into the specifics on this. Would
it help if we include specific visual patterns associated to page regions, components, and controls to use as examples?

Looking forward to talking to you on Tuesday.

Best.
