Engineering teachers’ approaches to design and deliver inclusive teaching in flexible learning spaces

Abstract

This Work in Progress Research reports on an ongoing study about engineering teachers’ approaches to inclusive teaching when designing MOOCs (Massive Open Online Education). It is part of a larger project exploring ways in which MOOC-initiatives can facilitate educational change within Universities. Our assumption is that the teachers, may develop their understanding of inclusive teaching, and, if so, transfer that knowledge into the design and delivery of regular course offerings given by universities. The knowledge generated in this study can help to shape future initiatives for faculty development and support, regarding engineering teachers’ ways to design and deliver flexible scalable forms of teaching that facilitates inclusiveness in the learning process.
