Hosting #LTHEchat 318: Designing for Diverse Learners

Last week, I had the joy of hosting #LTHEchat alongside the wonderful Tom Tomlinson from Hull and Gemma Spencer from UCLAN to focus on our Designing for Diverse Learners project. As we surge into 2025, it’s still crazy to think this project is still going strong after starting in 2018. Over the last 7+ years, we’ve enhanced and developed this guidance and seen it adopted and used across the sector. It was nice to finally take this #LTHEchat for discussion with the broader community.
