This workshop will begin with the question: “How can you design for learning through a social justice lens?”
Camille and Keith 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 over-looked 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
