No instructional designer ever sets out to purposely create barriers to learning. But we all see the world through our own lens, and that means we may be innocently excluding important groups of learners. In this session, we’ll take a step back and shine a light on hidden assumptions and biases that could make your learning less inclusive--and therefore, less effective.

Now is the time to make a positive change in 2021. Make a resolution to make the New Year your most accessible and inclusive learning year yet! This session will give you what you need to get you well on your way.

In this session, we will explore:

• What do accessibility & inclusion mean in the context of eLearning
• 3 Principles of Inclusive Design
• 6 Strategies for Designing a More Effective Learning Experience for Everyone
