Diversity MOOC - Inclusion in everyday teaching. A MOOC not only for teachers at universities and schools

Abstract

The term diversity means variety, difference or heterogeneity. This includes various dimensions, such as: gender, sexual identity, age, worldview, social and ethnic origin, health and much more. Inclusion takes up this concept and sheds light on it in a multifaceted and cross-cutting way in all social areas of life. These areas also include everyday teaching at universities and schools. In order to recognise and promote this diversity and thus achieve the best possible educational process with equal opportunities, comprehensive participation is required for all people. Therefore, it is the future task of all those working at the university to enable participation in the educational process for all. The project "Diversity MOOC - Inclusion in everyday teaching. A MOOC not only for teachers at universities and schools". Within the framework of the project, theme-specific videos were produced which are directed at all groups of people involved in the university and contribute to raising awareness to inclusion. These videos have been made accessible (with subtitles and audio description) to enable everyone to participate in digital teaching and learning.
