Inclusive learning has become an umbrella term to describe practices that support learners from a variety of backgrounds. Inclusive learning boosts educational achievement by providing learners and educators with tools to co-create learning experiences, to enhance cultural awareness, sensitivity and competency, and to personalize the learning experience. Inclusivity can be achieved through attention to creating an inclusive climate and through using inclusive pedagogical strategies. Some of these strategies include incorporating learner-centered activities, using diverse images and texts, and ensuring your course materials are accessible.
