Inclusive learning experience design is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves equitable access to learning experiences where they feel represented, included, and valued.

We recognize that if learners do not feel represented, included, and valued in the learning experiences we design, those experiences cannot be engaging, meaningful, or relevant. Therefore, if learning is not inclusive, it cannot be effective.

We value people over profit or policy. This means we treat people with respect, kindness, empathy, and love. Furthermore, we work to educate and train others to do the same.

In addition, we celebrate diversity of all kinds. We believe learning opportunities must be inclusive, equitable, and accessible for everyone. 

Finally, we recognize that systemically excluded groups are still being left out of and underrepresented in learning opportunities. These groups include individuals with disabilities, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) populations, and others.

Changing this significant imbalance requires a conscious commitment from learning and development professionals to continuously strive to build more inclusive learning experiences and environments. To do so effectively, we must explore and address our own biases and commit to learning how to be more inclusive.

We urge you to join us in making this commitment to the core values and principles of inclusive learning experience design.
