As I reflect back on what I have learned from the design thinking process, developing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA) for Faculty, the experience has indeed been deeply transformative for me. Having had the opportunity to create many digital learning resources prior to LRNT527, there was still much to explore and innovate.<\/p>\n

What was the most surprising thing you learned by participating in the design thinking process and designing and developing your digital learning resource?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the process of creating an accessible, inclusive educational environment, and community that models UDL and AODA, I was met with many accessible complexities that I was not familiar with. Due to my limited visceral experience with many disabilities, I was humbled by what I did not yet know and continuously needed to check in with my privileges, personal knowledge, and assumptions. Thus, I am working on gaining experiential experience and feedback from learners with various abilities to help me make this resource more accessible. Yardley et al. (2012) emphasized its importance as experiential learning constructs knowledge and meaning from real-life experience.<\/p>\n

What suggestions and improvements did you receive? Did you get any feedback that you did not expect? What feedback needs further investigation?<\/strong><\/p>\n
