abstract |
An inclusive approach to teaching in distance learning is essential to ensure students
with disabilities have equitable chances of success. However, embedding inclusive
practice is challenging when considering institutional complexities, the distance
nature of learning and support, and the varied roles, responsibilities and experiences
of staff. To understand this better and to identify an action plan for tangible interventions,
a staff survey measuring inclusion practices and perceptions was conducted in a large
UK distance learning university. The survey measured knowledge, skills, attitudes
and support context (in terms of training, guidance, human support and organisational
commitment) in teaching staff, support staff and learning technologists. The findings
(<i>N</i>=466) revealed strong positive attitudes towards inclusive practice, but
also identified clearly actionably training needs in relation to specific staff groups,
and knowledge and skills gaps. The staff survey represents a valuable model for measuring
training and intervention needs around inclusion in distance learning. |
