Accessible WIL: A Roadmap for Accessible Work-Integrated Learning
Accessible WIL Report GPT | eCampusOntario
A report released in May 2025, outlining how institutions can provide more equitable and beneficial work-integrated learning experiences for all learners. This resource can be used to guide post-secondary institutions and employers in using digital transformation to create more inclusive, accessible and effective WIL experiences for students with disabilities. In this Roadmap, you will find an environmental scan of the accessibility resources currently available, insights into how students with disabilities navigate various stages of WIL, the issues they face at each stage, and recommendations and good practices for improving their experiences at the individual, institutional, and beyond-the-institutional levels.
An initiative completed in collaboration between The Business + Higher Education Roundtable (BHER) and eCampus Ontario.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Practice – Open Textbook (torontomu.ca)
EDI in Practice is an online seven-module program for students participating in EL courses to provide an active way to deepen their understanding of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) before going into real-life situations. The seven modules are interactive, as learners go through a series of simulated experiences and connected exploration of concepts in equity, personal biases, and opportunities to learn best practices in inclusion.
