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.
