Speaker
Description
“Creating an Environment in Which Everyone Can Read” became law in Japan in April 2024. Many educators are currently trying new ways to teach due to requests for reasonable accommodations”, known as gouritekihairyou (合理的配慮) in Japanese. While it may seem difficult to adjust a class to the needs of a few, there are some easy universal design changes that can be done via Moodle that will benefit all the students. In Japan, teachers estimate that a at least 8.8% in mainstream public elementary schools and junior high schools have difficulty with reading and writing (文部科学省 2023). But only 1.79% of all university students with any disability ask their institutions for help (日本学生支援機構 プレスリリース令和６年度 8 月 9 日). During the pandemic, the number of Japanese university students with learning difficulties being active learners grew each year: because online learning is the right medium for these students. As a person who also has dyslexia, I understand the hidden barriers well. In this presentation, I will show how you can check your own layouts and documents, to help you set your students up for greater success. In addition, we will look at the broader environment of the GIGA School developments. Please bring your devices and all questions are welcome.
