Inclusive Assessment (November 3rd, 2026: 10-13hrs)
In this module, you will discuss some ideas about how we can ensure that all students have the possibility to demonstrate their achievements in the scope of the intended learning outcomes and provide evidence of their learning progress. Although it is not possible to meet each student’s needs, there are possible adaptations we can make that will benefit a broader group of students and contribute to an inclusive learning environment.
This module is part of the EQUiiP programme. The modules are organised in an interactive workshop format in which participants are invited to bring and share their teaching practices across disciplines. You can take one or more of the EQUiiP modules in any order (they will be offered once each semester).
