Inclusivity Reaching Beyond the Mainstream: how to design and deliver broader learning opportunities, access and impact
Join us to explore what inclusivity means for voctech.
Join us to explore inclusivity as we prepare for the panel discussion at the Ufi VocTech Showcase 2021.
All too often online learning opportunities seem to be designed for, and used by, those who already have an abundance of learning opportunities and credentials.
How can more be done in the design, development, and delivery of learning technologies to enable more diverse learners to benefit? At a time when digital access can unlock whole swathes of untapped talent, how can we ensure that it will?
How can digital technology help ensure equity of opportunity to develop skills for work?
In advance of the Inclusivity panel discussion, Jeff Greenidge, Director for Diversity at the Education and Training Foundation and the Association of Colleges; and Trustee, Ufi VocTech Trust, shares his thoughts on the potential for digital technologies to help ensure equity of opportunity to develop skills for work.
Join the discussion on Wednesday 17th November
