“…Allowing students to choose their own entry to the content and assignment aligns with UDL principles. The design of dashboards provides significant structure for students and their customizable nature makes incorporation of TILT and UDL principles white cis-gendered men and content often has significant ingroup bias (Oeberst et al, 2019). Content also contains both race and gender gaps (see Xing & Vetter, 2020 for a full review) as well as gender bias (see Wagner et al, 2015 for a review).…”

“…Wikipedia is a community‐built Encyclopedia and thus anyone can contribute via adding, editing, or deleting content at any time. Most editors, the people doing the bulk of contributing, editing, and gatekeeping of posted information, are white cis‐gendered men and content often has significant ingroup bias (Oeberst et al., 2019).
