How will your interactive learning resource specifically ensure that the needs of all learners can be met?
When dealing with different types of learners and their needs it’s not easy to make everyone feel included. As a student with ADHD I often find myself inquiring about extra accessibility, such as distraction free rooms, noise canceling headphones. When dealing with different types of learners and their needs it’s not easy to make everyone feel included. As a student with ADHD I often find myself inquiring about extra accessibility, such as distraction free rooms, noise canceling headphones or extra time.Its often disappointing when my accessibility needs are not met, and because of that I would never want someone who is using my learning resource to feel the same way. For learners who are visually or hearing impaired,audio and subtitles will be provided respectively. If my interactive learning resource has some sort of deadline, that must be met, then learners who have a learning disability of sorts will be granted extra time.
Just a side note, but I feel like this ties perfectly into the comic. Equality would be if I were to give all students whether they have a learning disability or not extra time, and that of course is not really fair. equity is extremely important in this case, the severity of a students learning disability is what dictates how much extra time they get.
Making a course accessible isn’t only for individuals with learning disabilities but for Another thought that comes to mind is students living in other time zones. Having the learning material be asynchronous would be a great start to ensure that the needs of all learners can be met. Asynchronous courses not only help out students in other time zones, but students who also have other commitments outside of learning, such as work and family. It gives them the piece of mind to fully focus on their studies, and not be worried about other things.
