Hi Stephine, thank you for sharing your ideas about inclusive learning. You provided great points about inclusive learning in your learning design, including setting up asynchronous format and discussion content. I really like your inclusive part about the online discussion session to help students with disabilities to avoid potential negative perceptions of others, your design shows that you really think a lot about inclusive learning! Also, great choice of the reference!

Inclusive learning is an essential part of learning designs, as it ensures the availability of the resources and learning materials, and helps the learners to have similar learning experiences and achievements as other learners with different prior knowledge or accesses.
My interactive learning resources consist of two parts: an online YouTube video and an online reading article. The YouTube video has subtitles and other accessories like pause, replay, change play speed, etc. Those features allow learners to get learn at their own pace. The subtitles in the video meet the need of learners with hearing disabilities, people who might need to watch the video muted, or learners that are still learning English. The online article is good material too, since it is an article people could translate it into the language they are comfortable with. However, it can still be improved. The “scaffolds” are important in learning designs, and I think I should add them to our design. For example, we should add instructions or add a rubric at the top of our BrightSpace page. The instructions would help learners to have a brief look at the steps we are about to go through, and it helps learners to have a clear guide. Another scaffold is to upload recorded lectures for those who are not comfortable with readings. The recorded lectures will give the same level of knowledge as presented in the readings.
The assessment in my learning design is a BrightSpace quiz, it is suitable for learners during unexpected events — a pandemic. Students have the ability to access the learning materials and assessments even when they have to stay at home.
Besides curb cuts, there is one universal design in engineering, and that is the new rotatable desk in UVic. It has a rotatable desktop that both right-hand writers and left-hand writers could use, and people only need to switch the desktop to the other side.
