Designing for Diverse Learners

From email - 

My colleague Sue Watling and I have been working on adapting the Home Office’s poster series on good design practices to make them less overwhelming and more suited to an educational context. I’ve tweeted this out a few weeks ago but wanted to share it on this listserv as I thought it may be useful for the wider LD community. My second reason for sharing is that we would also appreciate any feedback, suggestions and/or ideas that you may have 😊

The primary output from our work so far is our ‘Designing for diverse learners’ poster which I have shared below. The full version can be downloaded via this following Adobe Acrobat Preview and is licenced under Creative Commons, under the same terms/licence as the original work from the Home Office.
We hope that this poster will help others in designing learning materials and resources. You can find out more about our process in this blog post and we would heartily welcome your feedback via this email or within this Tricision on Tricider.
