Through a number of funded projects, the IDRC is working around the world to co-create open education resources that personalize experiences to meet individual needs and preferences, breaking down barriers to access for marginalized populations. Through inclusively designed materials, processes, and platforms, the Floe Project and Social Justice Repair Kit are two projects moving the vision of inclusively design content forward. With this suite of tools, that includes AccessForAll metadata for easy findability, matching, use, and customization for unique individuals and contexts, these inclusively design supports are removing barriers to participation in society, education, culture and more.
