Design More Inclusive Products

by Advance Equitable Outcomes Ed Tech

You need this if you want to: Design products that meet the needs of underserved populations.

Key activities conducted by the DEI specialist may include:

  • Gather and analyze available data on product usage and user satisfaction to identify gaps and disparities across race, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Interview diverse users and non-users to understand their needs and perceptions of the product. For users, understand the context in which they use the product as well as any challenges and concerns.
  • Refine product design (e.g., navigation, language barriers, technology requirements, UI, graphics and images) to improve the accessibility and user experience for individuals from underserved communities. As appropriate, introduce new products and derivatives to provide the best possible coverage of the population.
  • Revise pricing structure, as appropriate, to ensure inclusivity.
  • Test revised product with users and iterate as needed.

Infuse DEI in Your Programs

Infuse DEI in Your Programs

by Advance Equitable Outcomes Nonprofits

You need this if you want to: Identify how DEI can be infused across your existing programs, and evaluate whether new programs are needed.

Key activities conducted by the DEI specialist may include:

  • Gather and analyze disaggregated data on program usage and impact to identify gaps and disparities across race, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Identify and implement strategies to communicate and engage with program constituents. Invest in understanding the needs, interests and aspirations of students, families and community members served by your programs and incorporate their perspectives on key decisions.
  • Identify changes to the program (including design and launch of new programs where appropriate) to make it more equitable and inclusive. Establish processes to continually engage with participants and iterate on the program design based on their feedback.
  • Identify and allocate budgets necessary to ensure adequate resources to support DEI work. Identify metrics to measure progress.
