Learning to create an inclusive and enriching learning environment is possible

Online education brings together students with very diverse backgrounds and experiences. 
This diversity enriches the classroom and needs to be valued.

How can teachers embrace and take advantage of student diversity? What tools and advice can help to manage it?

The UOC’s Faculty of Economics and Business, in collaboration with the Globalization and Cooperation department, invites you to the webinar “How to create an inclusive virtual learning environment”, which will take place on Wednesday 3 November at 3 p.m. (CET). It will cover research and practice, and look at pedagogical approaches to create inclusive online classrooms.
