Toward Inclusive Learning Design

Abstract

The overarching goal of this paper is to promote a systemic approach toward needs assessment that enables inclusive learning design. We intend to foreground the importance of inclusive needs assessment and analysis to mitigate social inequities in educational and learning environments. This paper will explore instructional needs emerging because of social injustices and inequities and introduce heuristics to guide educators and learning designers to integrate inclusive needs analysis strategies.
