In designing online environments, consideration for the diversity of learners should be included. In this blog, a PDF resource is included titled: Design Considerations for Online Courses
"Universal design principles for online learning environments are based on the idea that a broad range of human ability exists. The creation of content needs to be made as usable as possible by as many people as possible regardless of age, ability, or situation.
Usable content accommodates people with disabilities, older people, children, novice technology users and others in ways that benefit all users. Designing for a wide range of users from the beginning of the building process can increase usability without significantly increasing the time it takes to build. The results benefit everyone and reduce modifications later when students, instructors, or content change."
