Hi Patrick,

Great post on the ways that your interactive learning resource will have inclusive design for groups such as single mothers who work full time and people with hearing loss. A connection I made between your group’s interactive learning resource and our group’s project is that we used very similar methods to design for inclusion. We designed our project to be fully completable asynchronously online and at a learner’s own pace. Our group strongly understood what it feels like to have a busy schedule, and thus by creating a learning resource that is self-paced, those who want to learn but have time constraints can still be included.

Another similarity between our resources is that we included instructional videos that teach learners about about a fundamental concept in our topic. We made sure that these videos had closed-captioning to include learners who have hearing loss. Along with those videos we also included additional resources such as an article with the relative material, so those who learn better through reading or those with hearing loss have that option.
