Empowering Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The objective of the research presented in this paper is to understand the current state of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) within Open Education in Latin America, and to explore how communities of open practice can be more equitable, diverse and inclusive within this context. Insights from 12 experts in the region were collected through interviews and a focus group. Latin America emerges as a critical region for examining these goals due t…
What should I know? Analysing behaviour and feedback from student use of a virtual assistant to share information about disabilities
Administrative burden is a recognised cause of inequities for disabled students. Experiences of sharing information about disabilities and arranging adjustments can be demoralising and present barriers to success. To explore how Artificial Intelligence technologies could improve this situation, a virtual assistant (VA) was iteratively developed and deployed to support the initial steps of the process through which students share information. Here…
Stakeholder Perspectives on the Ethics of AI in Distance-Based Higher Education
Increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is having an impact on distance-based higher education, where it is revealing multiple ethical issues. However, to date, there has been limited research addressing the perspectives of key stakeholders about these developments. The study presented in this paper sought to address this gap by investigating the perspectives of three key groups of stakeholders in distance-based higher education: students, tea…
Online work-based learning
It is widely acknowledged that graduates need to develop skills and competences beyond the theoretical knowledge nurtured within higher education curricula. In the last twenty years there has been an increased interest in supporting learners with work-based learning (WBL) (e.g. apprenticeships, practice-based lab sessions, project-based learning). The experience of COVID-19-related lockdowns has ignited a push to support and provide these opportu…
Taylor, the Disability Disclosure Virtual Assistant
Administrative burden in education is a serious issue for disabled students. Form-filling and bureaucracy are ubiquitous in further and higher education, particularly for students who need to disclose a disability and arrange for accommodations and support for an equitable educational experience. Paradoxically, many of these processes are inherently inaccessible for disabled students, and yet completing them can be critical to their success. Arti…
A qualitative study to understand the perspectives of Mooc providers on accessibility
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are widely available and have become a common option for learners. However, their full potential cannot be realised if they are not accessible to all learners, including those with disabilities. It is, therefore, important to understand the different stakeholders and their requirements and perspectives in designing accessible MOOCs. This research investigated the perspectives of MOOC providers on MOOC learners …
