Alexandra Sedlovskaya teaches you to create an inclusive and enriching learning environment

Online education has the potential to bring together students with widely diverse backgrounds and experiences. This diversity enriches the classrooms and, for this reason, it must be valued. How might educators embrace and build on this diversity of student perspectives? Which tools and tips can be used to manage it?

 

The webinar "How to create an inclusive virtual learning environment" will explore, based on research and practice, pedagogical approaches to create an inclusive online classroom that advances individual learning. The seminar will be led by Alexandra Sedlovskaya, Ph.D. in social psychology from Yale University and associate director of the C. Roland Christensen Center for Teaching and Learning at Harvard Business School. She designs and executes research pertaining to management education and pedagogies that support participant-centered learning. Additionally, she holds a PhD in Social Psychology from Yale University.

 

This training event responds to the UOC’s commitment to improving the management and attention to diversity in classrooms. The event, promoted by the Studies of Economics and Business in collaboration with the Area of Globalization and Cooperation, is part of the European project e-Inclusion, which aims to give teachers tools to facilitate education inclusive and responsive to diversity in their classrooms.
