Inclusive Microlearning using AI, Personas, Storytelling & Design Thinking

This session explores how to co-create inclusive learning experiences that honor diverse identities, amplify learner agency, and meet accessibility standards without sacrificing business outcomes. The session will blend Universal Design for Learning (UDL) with Design Thinking and culturally responsive design, incorporating practical methods for cognitive accessibility and emotional safety.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Apply liberatory design thinking to create inclusive microlearning that centers psychological safety, belonging, and learner voice.
• Integrate storytelling and generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, 7Taps, Canva) to build emotionally engaging, accessible microlearning modules.
• Create inclusive persona profiles that reflect the diverse identities, needs, and barriers of learners, serving as a foundation for equitable and human-centered learning design.
• Use a UDL-informed framework from design to assessment of the inclusivity, accessibility, and cultural responsiveness of microlearning experiences across formats and platforms.
