Cultural Sensitivity & Visual Audit Contextualization: Review all written content to ensure scenarios, names, and references are relatable and appropriate for the local student demographic. Visual Review: Audit illustrations and photography to identify any culturally insensitive or irrelevant imagery that may hinder student engagement.
