Typically, universities may rely solely on checklists of recommendations, which although a key component of developing equitable and inclusive teaching, often fall short of accounting for the multifaceted range of attributes a holistic definition of inclusivity entails. This paper posits that there is a need for better understanding of potential implementation barriers, coupled with guidance and support for both practitioners as well as policy makers. Research reported in this paper presents an analysis of UK equality legislation as it relates to Higher Education and a range of institutional support documentation. This documentary analysis is used to explore, with practitioners, the opportunities for and barriers to implementing recommendations for inclusive learning at a highly selective, science focussed institution. The...

Based on learning theories published almost a hundred years ago, it is designing for in-person learning and a student demographic that hasn’t been seen since the 1950s. In the twenty-first century, and particularly post Covid-19, the field is long overdue for an update that puts blended and online learning at the forefront, addresses the inevitable link between the internet and education and responds to the changing demographics of learners in higher education. This paper will look at pedagogy and learning design through a modern lens with an aim to redefine the field and develop a new framework for learning design that is intuitive, inclusive, and grounded in the current century.

(1 hour) Conference Theme : What are the opportunities and challenges for educational institutions heading towards 2020? Description of session: Session outline: Registered participants will be asked to take a short online survey from 4 weeks before the session to collect data/opinions on the main topics of the presentation, addressing issues such as the definition of flipped learning, how/if HE practitioners are using it and opinions on the future of flipped learning. The session will start with a brief presentation that will incorporate survey responses and offer analysis of the issues of flipped learning and the opportunities and challenges it poses to educational establishments. Following the presentation, we will open up a ‘ world cafe ’ style discussion that allows participants to discuss ...

In this session we will look at some of the key areas of digital teaching through a relaxed and fun workshop. The workshop will then feed into the IMPLEMnT tool which should further enable everyone involved in teaching in Higher Education to make decisions about digital teaching in a more relaxed and supported way.

IMPLEMnT is an ongoing community project which is aims to make the process of adaptation simpler for everyone involved in delivering education in an HE setting. The aim is to empower users of technology in learning by building a community of practice to collect and share best practice and ideas alongside creating explicit links between the use of technology and good pedagogy

However, there are differences that can be made at the course or even module level by local teams that will both compliment institutional policy and have an immediate impact on students. This paper aims to describe the process taken to embed diversity and inclusion into an online career development short course. We will explain how user experience personas, created in the design phase of the course, developed into an integral part of the course curriculum and how they are used to show diversity to a fully asynchronous online cohort. We discuss how theories of pedagogy and design can be combined to have a positive impact on the sense of belong for all students. Finally, we explore how these theories can be applied to wider practice and offer suggestions for how other courses can use our process to embed elements of diversity into their programmes, and hopefully increase a sense of student belonging.
