I enjoyed this course and feel that I have gained a great deal of knowledge regarding open and distributed online learning. My biggest takeaway from the course is thinking of ways to incorporate the different topics of inclusive learning, accessibility, UDL principles, identity, values, and personalized learning into my classroom, whether it is online or not. I want to create a safe and inclusive environment that encourages participation among my students when I become a teacher. This course has taught me different ways of participating and communicating through blog posts, with peers, and with professors, as well as how I will create a safe space for my students by protecting their privacy and allowing participation in ways they feel most comfortable.

Thank you all for following along with my blog posts and engaging with them!!
