FLO Lab: Embedding Principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion into Course Design

Do you want to create a learning environment that considers the diverse lived experiences of your students? In this three-hour Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) Lab session, we will start by exploring current frameworks for course design (such as Universal Design for Learning and quality assurance) and determine what is “missing” with these frameworks from an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) perspective. We will then explore at least two different approaches to incorporate principles of EDI into the course design and development process. We will conclude with space for critical reflection and co-creation of strategies for implementing these changes.

This session will be beneficial for anyone who is interested in moving away from the status quo in course design and becoming an agent of change!  

Facilitator: Randeep Nota
