Design for variability before learners have to ask for exceptions.

Use technology to reduce barriers, widen language and accessibility options, foster belonging and strengthen responsive systems of support.

• Designed for Difference: Technology Through a UDL Lens — Use CAST UDL Guidelines 3.0 to examine how technology can reduce barriers, widen access and support learner agency without lowering the learning goal.
• Designed for Everyone: Accessible Digital Content — Create more accessible slides, documents, LMS pages, images and media using practical habits for structure, alternatives, contrast, keyboard access and responsive design.
• AI Through a UDL Lens — Apply CAST UDL Guidelines 3.0 to AI-supported learning: barriers, representation, engagement, action and expression, accessibility and cognitive ownership.
• Assistive Technology in Practice — Make assistive technology part of thoughtful learning design: start with the barrier and goal, match support to the task, teach agency and monitor whether access is improving.
• Language Access by Design — Design digital learning so multilingual learners can access meaning, use their full linguistic resources and show what they know without unnecessary language barriers.
• Better Together: Designing Belonging Online — Design online and hybrid learning spaces where learners can participate, be recognised, take intellectual risks and repair relationships when things go wrong.
• Technology for Every Learner: An MTSS Lens — Examine how technology can support universal provision, targeted and intensive supports, progress monitoring and data-based decisions within MTSS.
