    Introduction 

    Assessment is the most high-stakes element of the learning experience. When assessment design excludes or disadvantages learners, through inaccessible formats, culturally biased tasks, inflexible conditions, or inadequate feedback, it can negate all the inclusive design effort invested elsewhere in a course. Conversely, well-designed inclusive assessment communicates to learners that the institution believes in their capacity to succeed and is committed to demonstrating that equitably.
