An interactive learning resource catering to all needs of learners must, therefore, integrate Universal Design for Learning to ensure access and engagement by all. It will display the content in a multi-modal way: through written explanations, videos, audio recordings, and interactive activities to accommodate different ways of learning. For example, key complex ideas will be distilled into plain text, supplemented by compact, visually appealing videos and infographics. This range caters to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners, helping to ensure that all people can get the material in a format best for them to understand it. Thus, alternative text for images and transcripts for videos will further take into consideration people with visual or audio impairments in learning and hence make it inclusive.

These resource interactive elements will further be designed to accommodate different levels of engagement and understanding. Multiple-choice quizzes with immediate feedback, interactive simulations, and scenario-based exercises that permit students to exercise and use knowledge in a dynamic, supportive environment will also be included. The resource will have adjustable settings in terms of difficulty so that learners with all kinds of skills can work through it at their own pace. This method does not only emphasize reinforcement of learning but also generates several avenues for learners to show their understanding, therefore applying the UDL framework that states the provision of multiple means of expression. It works to engage and support all learners effectively through the integration of such strategies for creating an inclusive learning experience.
