For Educators

Welcome to the Accessible Digital Learning Portal (ADLP). The ADLP features resources to support the production, distribution and implementation of accessible digital content and tools for students with and without disabilities. This website focuses on technology based solutions for high resource and low-resource environments, both in the classroom and in remote learning settings.

The website content will be updated regularly by community managers and accessibility experts supported by UNICEF and GPE.

We are currently working on expanding the content within the site to include a wider selection of region specific resources and translations into other languages. The site will be regularly updated throughout 2021 based on feedback from the community.

The ADLP is a sister initiative to UNICEF's ongoing Accessible Digital Textbooks Initiative - a multi-country project to address the need for accessible digital learning materials to include all learners. Here you can find additional resources and materials related specifically to the production and implementation of accessible digital textbooks.
