The learning materials used in this MOOC have been co-created and developed within the ERASMUS+ KA220 COALITION (Coaching academics as learners for inclusive teaching optimal networks Project).
Lack of inclusive practices in contemporary higher education institutes can be overcome when students are positioned as equal partners who inform and work together with faculty towards the design of conducive learning environments. For this purpose, faculty from six European Higher Education institutes collaborated around the topic of inclusive student-centred pedagogies (i-SCP) in higher education. During this project in-depth understanding of inclusive teaching and practical tools for faculty and academic developers were constructed, tested, and validated in various higher education contexts.
This course offers the participants the necessary scaffolding in the i-SCP axes for good educational praxis in higher education. It provides learning material that will raise awareness of inclusive teaching especially related to the design of student-centred learning, lesson plans, multimodal representation of content, peer observation of teaching, and educational action research. As a result, participants will gain tools to navigate the various dimensions of i-SCP in higher education, establish inclusive and equity-driven learning environments where all students can succeed personally and academically. In addition, this course will empower participants to make teaching practices more inclusive, disseminating their insights into a broader community of practices.
