Workshop Overview
Participants of the pilot online workshop will engage in iterations of reflexive exercises and knowledge acquisition. During the session, participants will reflect on their role in reproducing or challenging inequalities in digital education. A combination of exercises, theoretical concepts, and exchanges among participants chiefly contribute to a knowledge base to assist educators in understanding their role as a mediator and facilitator of a diverse, dispersed classroom with each member coming from different backgrounds, facing different challenges, and having different needs.
The Awareness Raising Tool workshop addresses the following ‘challenges’ for educators:
How to challenge your own perspectives and practice self–reflection:
- Exploring your position and biases, and the ways in which these affect digital learning
How to recognize and cater to diversity in digital classrooms:
- Get to know your students’ backgrounds, perspectives and learning journeys
- Recognise the specificities of digital learning that hamper or strengthen e–inclusion, in order to make your digital course accessible and engaging for every student
Explicate the relationship between classrooms environments and the broader institutional, societal, and globalized contexts they are embedded in.
