How will your interactive learning resource specifically ensure that the needs of all learners can be met?

In order to ensure that learners can successfully use our learning resource, our learning pod will implement a few design features that will increase its accessibility to those who may not speak English as their first language as well as to those who may have difficulty meeting precise deadlines due to busy schedules or emergency situations. 

Outside of terms specific to control flow in Python, only simple terms will be used throughout the course to make it easier for those not fluent in English to understand. Words and terms that may be more difficult to understand but are necessary for the learning resource, such as boolean, will be put into a glossary that will describe the term in detail to ensure all learners can use the terms appropriately in the context of Python. For ELL students and others who may not be as fluent in English, we will ensure that there are opportunities for them to be able to receive clarification on what is required for projects or to help explain the meanings of certain concepts if needed. They will also be placed in groups where other members of their group will also be able to aid them in their understanding. 

To ensure those with busy schedules, like single mothers, have full access to the course we will also give students the ability to request extensions to help those who may need a little more time to complete assignments. These extra days will also be available to anyone who is experiencing issues with unforeseen circumstances or in case of emergencies. We hope that by providing more lenient due dates we can remove any undue stress that would otherwise prevent the learner from completing the resource.
