Equipping

Equipping lecturers: inclusive teaching in diverse classrooms

The Equipping unit uses and is further developing the EQUiiP programme and its materials with the aim to stimulate discussions and sharing among lecturers and educational developers about inclusive teaching in diverse classrooms. These modules are organised in an interactive workshop format in which participants are invited to bring and share their teaching and learning practices. 

This series of workshops consists of five modules in which you will look at course materials and design from different perspectives. The various themes are (1) Introduction to Inclusive Teaching in Diverse Classrooms; (2) Inclusive Internationalised Course Design; (3) Intercultural Group Dynamics; (4) Role of Language; and (5) Inclusive Assessment .

The content of the sessions are aligned and based on the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) EQUiiP programme. By attending at least three sessions, you are able to obtain a digital certificate as a Proof of Competence.
