Abstract

Design is powerful in its ability to include some and exclude others. When the design of a course is approached in a thoughtful and inclusive way, it creates an educational environment where all students have an opportunity to learn and demonstrate their mastery of the course content. We’ll explore some of the barriers students with disabilities face in taking online courses and some solutions for removing those barriers.
