In addition to reducing costs for students through open textbooks, BCcampus Open Education facilitates an improved learning environment for instructors and students by encouraging open textbook authors to follow Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to improve accessibility for all students. Detailed information about UDL and accessibility can be found in the Accessibility Toolkit – 2nd Edition.
