The FutureLearn Inclusive Learning and Teaching Environments MOOC starts on November 20th

It is free and runs for 3 weeks with about 3 hours work a week. All the materials are available as Open Education Resources

 

"Explore how to make Higher Education more inclusive.  According to research by the UK government, disabled people are around half as likely to hold a degree-level qualification than people without disabilities. It raises an important question: how can we make education more inclusive?

 

On this course you will learn about different aspects of inclusion and digital accessibility experienced by students, teachers and support staff in Higher Education. You’ll explore the barriers experienced by disabled students, the role of inclusive practices and hear firsthand from students about the impact inclusion has had on their studies."

 

Best wishes
