Hi Kayleigh, I just read your recent blog post at https://kayleighdawn.opened.ca/category/open-distributed-learning/ .

I am super happy to see and read your passion for this topic! Great point about the design principles being beneficial for all learners and not only who they are designed to include. Something we learned in second year was that everyone can benefit from these design principles and that they do not hinder the learning of other students who may not seem to be struggling with the standard teaching methods. A deficit mindset is something I am not familiar with. Thank you for your brief description of it, I am now interested in doing some research myself.
