Week 4 – The Wave & Inclusive Design

Hi Mbender,

Same as you, I have used text to speech many times. I often use it as a learning tool to improve my listening skills. Especially before bed, I do not want to spend too much time reading with my eyes, I would use this tool and listen to the script. This is a way of learning and I can follow the scripts as shadow exercise.

In addition, I am very impressed by your explanation of the UDL guidelines. You clearly describes the three elements and support with your personal experience. I agree with you that representation allows students to control the speed of presentation according to their learning habits and absorption. As for me, I prefer to pause the online videos and take notes on some important knowledge. UDL guidelines are really effective for diverse learners. With the impact of the multimedia input knowledge, learners would unconsciously express their output through text, videos, images and other multimedia ways.
