In today's dynamic learning landscape, representation matters more than ever. This session will explore the critical aspects of disability and diversity representation in learning, moving beyond surface-level discussions to practical applications. We'll discuss where to uncover truly representative assets for your e-learning content, helping you move past generic imagery to find authentic visuals.

We'll also tackle a timely and crucial topic: the problems and pitfalls of using AI for diversity representation. As AI tools become more prevalent, understanding their limitations and biases is essential for creating genuinely inclusive learning experiences. Join us to gain the knowledge and strategies you need to build more inclusive and impactful learning environments.
