Although the movement in course materials in colleges and universities is clearly from print towards digital, the survey data suggest it will be a slow process. Asked when they thought the majority of their course materials would be primarily digital, fully a fourth of the surveyed faculty indicated “never,” while another 9 percent said by fall 2022, and 17 percent indicated by fall 2020. In contrast, fully a sixth (16 percent) reported that majority of their current course materials were digital as of fall 2015, and a third (34 percent) anticipated primarily digital course materials by fall 2018. However, despite what appears to be faculty resistance to going digital for course materials, just over two-thirds (69 percent) of the survey participants agreed/strongly agreed that they have used or would like to use “curricular materials that make use of adaptive learning technologies.”

Resources for the Inclusive Classroom. Inclusive Design Research Centre. What do we mean by Inclusive Design? We have defined Inclusive Design as: design that considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference. The Three Dimensions of Inclusive Design At the IDRC and the Inclusive Design Institute we stress three dimensions of inclusive design: 1: Recognize diversity and uniqueness Inclusive design keeps the diversity and uniqueness of each individual in mind. 2: Inclusive process and tools The process of design and the tools used in design are inclusive. 3: Broader beneficial impact It is the responsibility of inclusive designers to be aware of the context and broader impact of any design and strive to effect a beneficial impact beyond the intended beneficiary of the design.

The Relative Nature of Disability and Accessibility The IDRC reframes disability within the design context. Why not use the term Universal Design? The distinctions we wanted to make were: Categories - Evaluating Web Pages: Questions to Consider. Evaluating Internet Resources | Georgetown University Library.

Home - Open Up Resources : Open Up Resources. Open Educational Resources (OER) UNESCO is the only UN agency with a dedicated OER programme. The term “Open Education Resource” was first coined in 2002 at a forum organised by UNESCO on Open Courseware in Higher Education. In November 2019, the 40th UNESCO General Conference adopted the UNESCO OER Recommendation which is the only international standard setting framework in this area worldwide.

UNESCO believes that universal access to information through high quality education contributes to peace, sustainable social and economic development, and intercultural dialogue. OER provide a strategic opportunity to improve the quality of learning and knowledge sharing as well as improve policy dialogue, knowledge-sharing and capacity-building globally. Since 2002, UNESCO has developed large-scale projects, with global projects with impact at the regional, national and institution level, to provide expert technical assistance to Member States in advocacy, capacity-building and policy support for OER.
