Abstract

Information literacy instruction is increasingly being delivered online, particularly through the use of learning objects. The development practice for creating learning objects often uses the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to meet needs for inclusivity. However, missing from this framework is the lens of diversity. This article calls out the need to include practices in learning object development that goes beyond UDL so that learning objects are inclusive from the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Looking at transferable techniques used in in-person instruction, we suggest guidelines to fill the inclusivity gap in learning object creation.
