COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION

Inclusive and Accessible Communication

Definition:

Inclusive communication means using language and formats that respect the diversity of your audience and do not exclude or marginalize people based on gender, disability, race, ethnicity, or other characteristics. Accessible communication ensures that documents, presentations, and digital content can be used by people with a range of abilities. These are professional standards that all students can benefit from learning.
