Think about one digital change your institution has introduced in the last two to three years (for example, a new learning platform, hybrid teaching model, online services for students, or digital assessment). Describe what problem it aimed to solve and who benefited most from it. Then reflect on inclusion: who might have been unintentionally left behind, or faced extra barriers, and why? Consider factors such as digital access, language, disability, confidence with technology, time constraints, or support structures. Finally, propose one realistic improvement that would make this initiative more inclusive. Your proposal should be specific and feasible, such as a change in communication, training, support, accessibility features, or policy. Explain briefly how your idea supports both inclusion and institutional goals. (Write up to 200–300 words.)
