Description

In order to meet the promise of digital instructional materials, this session offers a walk-through of Clusive: a free, online, open-source E-Reader to support learners as they access, comprehend, and interact with engaging and challenging texts. Based on Universal Design for Learning, Clusive features accessibility supports (such as variable text display, text to speech) and UDL/adaptive features (such as vocabulary, highlighting, leveled texts, and affective responses).
