1 Understand your audience
The first step to creating an accessible online learning platform is to understand who your learners are, what they want to achieve, and what barriers they may face. You can use various methods to gather information about your audience, such as surveys, interviews, personas, or analytics. By knowing your learners' goals, motivations, interests, and challenges, you can tailor your content, format, and delivery to suit their needs and preferences.

Algunos comentarios acerca de las mejores formas para crear una plataforma de aprendizaje en línea que sea "accesible" para todos los alumnos: Se suponen "definidos" los contenidos de la plataforma en un primer estadio.Comprender la audiencia, quienes son, que quieren, como puedo ayudar a su crecimiento (vivenciar su crecimiento, disfrutarlo, cocrearlo).Que nivel de rentabilidad pretende la plataforma.De que manera se puede hacer rentable la plataforma.Importante: siempre la plataforma necesitará fondos para su viabilidad, pondrá tenerse en cuenta el mecanismo de sponsor para menguar los costos a la audiencia.Sincronizar los contenidos a los requisitorias de la audiencia logrará un mayor grado de satisfacción en el alumnado.

2 Apply universal design principles
Universal design is an approach that strives to make products and environments usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. You can apply universal design principles to your online learning platform by ensuring it is perceptible, operable, understandable, and robust. For example, use multiple modalities such as text, audio, video, images, or animations to convey your information; provide clear and consistent navigation, labels, and feedback; use simple and clear language; and ensure compatibility with different browsers, platforms, and assistive technologies. Additionally, you should follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure your platform is compliant.

3 Engage your learners
An accessible online learning platform should not only be usable, but also engaging for learners. You can motivate your learners by providing choices, such as different learning content, activities, and assessments, or the ability to customize their learning environment. Additionally, provide feedback to your learners on their progress and performance, as well as encourage them to give feedback to you and each other. Moreover, provide support with resources and tools, as well as human support with mentors or peers. Also make the learning content and activities relevant to the learners' goals and interests. Creating an online learning platform that is accessible to all learners is not only a legal and ethical responsibility, but also a competitive and strategic advantage. By following these best practices, you can create an online learning platform that is inclusive, engaging, and effective for your diverse and dynamic audience.
