The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

This workshop will begin with the question: “How can you design for learning through a social justice lens?”

Camille Dickson and Keith Heggart will share examples related to the challenges of working with diverse groups in online and blended learning environments, identify and describe some of the often overlooked or poorly understood challenges educators face in these contexts, before broadening them to engage in a critique of ‘universal’ frameworks. Finally, Camille and Keith will finish with some comments about possible design principles, and present ideas for discussion on how to narrow, rather than widen the digital divide for diverse learners.’

Presenters

  • Dr Camille Dickson Deane, Senior Lecturer, Science
