This unit is about how digital media can serve an assistive function for students to compensate for impairment-related functional limitations and thus support equal participation in education.

You will learn:

• What basic principles of how digital media, platforms, and materials should be designed to be accessible and usable for a diverse student body, especially students with disabilities there are.
• What accessibility means in concrete terms.
• How accessibility features, apps, and assistive technologies enable students with disabilities to participate in education.
