About the personas
This embedded deck was created by Kelli Knuth to support inclusive, learner-centred design. It presents realistic student profiles that reflect different goals, challenges, and access needs.
Use these personas to test ideas, identify barriers, and build empathy across diverse student journeys.
Accessibility insights from the PDF
- Accessibility is not only about disability — it’s also about clarity, predictability, and inclusion.
- Navigation structure matters: numbered topics help students using screen readers or working across second languages.
- Designs that reduce cognitive load benefit everyone, especially students with ADHD, dyslexia, or anxiety.
- Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles should guide your layout, flow, and language.
