Inclusive Course Design from the Start

Inclusive design is not just about meeting accessibility checkboxes, it’s about creating learning experiences that anticipate and support the full range of learner differences from day one. In this session, participants will explore how cultural background, language proficiency, neurodiversity, disability, and socioeconomic status impact learning, and how intentional design choices can promote equity, engagement, and a sense of belonging. You’ll discover practical strategies, tools, and design frameworks to help build flexible, inclusive learning environments that benefit all students, not just those with identified needs. Walk away with actionable ideas you can apply immediately to ensure your course design invites every learner in.
