Week 4 Updates (June 1 – 8th)

This week we turn our attention to designing for inclusion as well as creating accessible content. You’ll explore inclusive learning design and examine Universal Design for Learning – with particular attention to how UDL shapes technology-mediated environments. You’ll bring these ideas into your Interactive Learning Resource as well as Blog Post 3 – and focus on how inclusive design moves beyond accommodation toward intentional, proactive planning. Here are your ‘to do’s’:

• Read any announcements on Teams and Brightspace.
• Read the post Inclusive Learning Design
  • Ensure you dig into the Inclusive Design Guide developed by the Inclusive Design Research Centre (IDRC)
• Read the post Universal Design for Learning
  • Complete the module “UDL & Technology-Mediated Learning Environments“
• Read the post about creating accessible content and review each of the linked resources
• Craft the Blog Post 3 and post ideally by Monday, June 8th. Make sure you use the title Post 3.
• Please comment on the blog posts of your learning pod members and/or a fellow classmate. Try to aim to share feedback on the posts of one or two other classmates.
• Meet with your Learning Pod to continue drafting your Interactive Learning Resource, focusing on accessibility and inclusion and only create accessible content moving forward
