How will your interactive learning resource specifically ensure that the needs of all your learners can be met?

Reducing barriers to learning is an essential task for instructors as they are responsible for providing an inclusive platform for a variety of students. This can include ensuring that all students have the same access to resources, providing a variety of learning styles and keeping physical and mental health in mind. It is important to create accessible interactive learning resources because it allows everyone, regardless of their abilities, to access the same content. This helps to promote a more equitable and inclusive learning environment. In addition, creating accessible interactive learning resources can benefit not only those who may require extra support but can also be beneficial for all learners. By making learning resources more accessible, it can allow for more effective learning and better understanding for all students. It can also help to encourage more creative and collaborative approaches to learning.

To ensure that our interactive learning resource is inclusive and can support all learners, we will provide a special effort to make sure that all of the following points are included:

  1. Ensure that all audio and video resources provide alternative text and captions to adhere to those with any form of hearing impairment.
  2. Provide audio file descriptions for any text or images that are used to make sure those with visual impairments are being included
  3. Utilize accessible colours that have contrast to support learners who may have colour vision deficiency.
  4. Incorporate clear fonts as well as keep a clear design layout for learners to follow easily.
  5. Design the resource with assistive technology in mind.

By including all of these in our interactive learning resource, we will achieve a more inclusive and equitable learning experience that provides students with the opportunity to learn more effectively and efficiently. Removing any potential barriers to learning creates an environment where everyone has the same chance to succeed in their educational journey.
