        What is it about?

        In this five-part video series, we'll dive into the essential principles and practices of digital inclusion in higher education. Each episode, around five minutes in duration, will provide you with practical, actionable strategies to ensure your digital materials and online spaces are accessible to all learners.

        We'll start with the foundational concepts, explore digital tools, and then move on to creating accessible content and developing inclusive online environments. We'll wrap up by applying the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to create equitable learning experiences.

        Who is this course for? 

        This course is designed for both educators and students who are passionate about making a positive impact. Whether you're a seasoned academic or just starting your studies, you'll find simple, effective ways to build a more inclusive and supportive digital community.

        How does it work? 

        From 12 January 2026, we will release a video and resources each weekday for 25 days. You can follow the course, start on any day, catch up and also revisit resources. The course page is not expected to close anytime soon. 

        The videos have been captioned in Tamil and Sinhala languages in addition to English, and the transcripts have been provided. You can select your preferred language on YouTube. 

        This course is provided for free.  By signing up, you agree to be contacted via email within 6 months after completion to provide feedback on the impact of taking part in this course.

        Is it assessed? 

        At the end of each week, you can complete a short quiz and on successful completion, you receive a digital badge that you can keep or share on your social media profiles.
