Gertie said OMG! I can't learn about Inclusive Design tonight - I have a party to go to...Hellie said yes you can, click here and you'll get it in 30 seconds flat!
When Hellie prepared the teaching for this, she reflected (contemporary word for thought about) on the inclusiveness in her course design. Of course every course cannot be designed for every person on the planet, but Hellie is confident that anyone who met the criteria to enter the Occupatioanl Therapy programme would manage her course, with some possible need for modifications to meet physical difficulties some students may experience. The things that most make her confident this is the case are the fact that the course delivery and assessment methods are flexible, varied, diverse and adaptable.
On this course, one size does not have to fit all, there are a whole heap of sizes avaliable, and alterations are possible if necessary.

Great video on Animoto! That really did help to explain what Inclusive Design is. Being aware of your learner is the first step to developing inclusive learning materials. I think it is also important to help the learner find out what way they learn best - sometimes then you only find out how inclusive you need to be! It was good to see you use the terms "flexible, varied, diverse and adaptable" as these are ultimately what inclusiveness is. How would you go about creating varied and diverse learning opportunities within your own course?
