Culturally Inclusive Instructional Design for Online Learning : Summer Online Faculty Institute, 2021

Abstract

In this session, we explore the key question: What does it mean to be culturally inclusive in learning design? We will define the characteristics of culturally inclusive learning environments, reflect on our own cultural programming and mindset, recognize the impact of microaggression and stereo-typing on students, and determine how to incorporate language inclusivity and translanguaging (recognizing, valuing, and encouraging the use of students’ full linguistic repertoires.) Participants will gain insight into how to build inclusive online communities that engage in inquiry, reflection, and growth, regardless of content domain.
