Colleagues,
This brief article about Google's Voice Access makes me wonder how adult learners with reading or other disabilities may already be using Google Assistant or Siri, and whether or not adult basic skills teachers are learning -- and teaching -- their students how to use these features.
Google's Voice Access looks to me like a promising Universal Design for Learning feature that may benefit those with situational or permanent disabilities -- and perhaps everyone.

Thanks, David, for highlighting one of Google's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) features. Voice Access is a great example of simple, easy to use UDL that can be used to support learners, whether they have an identified disability, or not. I'll be curious to hear from others about their use of this - or other - simple UDL tech resources.
Community members, I am working with two UDL experts on a webinar for us later this year. What are your questions about UDL? Help make this an event that addresses your questions and concerns. Share your thoughts today!
