In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”, everyone has the right to quality education. To deliver this online, teachers, instructional designers and programming experts must work together to create online learning environments that promote equity and full participation. So, what have we done at Monterrey Institute of Technology to promote inclusion and ensure accessibility across our digital content? First, we promote a culture of inclusive language across all our educational material using an inclusive language guide which is available to all lecturers and instructional designers across the institution. The guide defines inclusive language as a set of forms of expression, written or oral, that combats discrimination and promotes equality. One of its goals is to eliminate stereotypes about gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnic and cultural origin and age.
