Project Description

To ensure students with disabilities can enjoy the same access to Higher Education (HE) as their peers and enjoy access to digital training materials (OERs Open Educational Resources and MOOCs – Massive Open Online Courses).
The objective of this research proposal is to design a model to build capabilities and resources of Indian and Bangladeshi Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to include a diversity of students, especially those with learning disabilities. Provide inclusive education training and tools to HEI staff, including guidelines, checklists and leading edge practices by following Universal Design of Learning (UDL) guidelines and principles.
