Hi Abigail, thanks for a fantastic post on “Designing for Inclusion and Engagement”. I like how you start off with a powerful quote “Kids do well if they can”, as it sets a supportive tone for your blog. I also like your breakdown of synchronous vs asynchronous as it was short and sweet and to the point, which makes it simple for people to understand the difference.
I wonder if you could deepen your section on Principles of Effective Online Education as it’s a bit brief. I was thinking that you could add a specific example on how UDL makes those expectations “visible and easy to understand” for students. How would a standard syllabus differ from one that comes from the UDL design?
Cool to hear your insights on Designing for Inclusion and Engagement🙂
