Teaching for Impact: Inclusive Instructional Design Practices that Deliver

Designing course content for a broad spectrum of learners can prove to be challenging. With so many tools, resources, and technology available it can be difficult to choose the right design to effectively design and deliver online instruction without overwhelming adult learners. Considering the needs of neurodiverse learners can provide impact on the design being inclusive for all learners. Shifting from pandemic online instruction to post pandemic instruction created an opportunity to bring forward online instructional practices that impact learners through inclusive course design. This session will provide examples of what one team of faculty did to adapt and offer flexibility to learners by creating an inclusive space in their online classes. Session participants can expect to engage through posting to a shared online resource and they will have the opportunity to contribute to a crowdsourced document to promote ideas for inclusive teaching practices.
