During the pandemic, most of the education has moved online. Therefore, the new style of education will be integrated and complementary to conventional education in the future. People still are bound to encounter many obstacles in this process so inclusive learning will play a vital role in the integration of the new style with traditional education. Inclusive education Canada indicates that “ human rights law requires education providers to make their services accessible to person with disabilities. This means that where a barrier is identified, accommodations must be provided to overcome that barrier, unless to do so would cause an undue hardship.”(EdTech Admin, 2021) Therefore, learning design shouldn’t only focus on the normal people, special groups should also be taken into account.
In our group, we considered the barriers that can emerge for some students. For assessing normal students physical exams can be administered by reading articles and videos where learners are provided with everything, they need to prepare the dishes. The supervisor evaluates the results and grades how the dishes were done. These activities ensure that even students interact with the skills they need. The feedback can be given in the form of pass mark areas and areas of improvement. Summative assessments will be the end-of-term examinations where the theoretical part is tested. For assessing special students, we will offer extra activities. The offline coaching is the first activity we offer where feasible. We believe that offline interaction compared to online teaching, real-time interaction and teaching can give students feedback immediately. Replacing the traditional exam with a personal learning experience is our second activity. The main aim of this acclivity remains to strengthen the educator’s grasp of the learning progress of exceptional students. Thus providing targeted teaching in this course. In our third activity, if a person uses text-to-speech to listen to an article when they aren’t able to read it (either because of a situation or a disability), educators could provide an audio version.
When educators pay attention to the people who are actually using the products they develop, and how they adapt when something doesn’t work well for them, Inclusive designers can use inclusive design principles to create user-friendly education that work for the majority of people and meet accessibility guidelines in the process.

Your article have many wonderful ideas. I really agree that you think UDL should be designed for every learners including some special person. In your second paragraph, you pointed the design of public materials considered disabilities before they build. And this phenomenon should be applied in learning design, I totally agree with that. I learned many views from your article, thank you for your opinion
Have a wonderful week

Hi Xiangbio. I agree with this blog post. During the pandemic, we went from face-to-face to online classes and communication. Inclusive learning plays an important role in the integration of new and traditional modes. At the same time, learning design should not only focus on ordinary people but also on special groups. And, you have also made good suggestions on our blueprint and suggested many ways and means. Examples include reading articles and videos, offline tutoring for special populations, and text-to-speech methods.
