Inclusivity via Creativity - Engaging Diverse Learners in Higher Education
Conference hosted by the 2014/15 cohort: DMU Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education


Keynote 
Ecologies for Learning, Development and Achievement: An Inclusive Concept for Personal Creativity

Inclusivity is the intention, policy and practice of including and involving people in social practices who otherwise might be excluded or marginalised

In education, inclusivity is about developing our education system: 
  • so we can respond effectively to learners  of all abilities and at all stages of their life  
  • that it is flexible enough to involve and meet the needs of anyone who wants or needs to learn 
  • and that can embrace all forms of learning and all environments within which people can learn and develop and  recognise achievement - increasingly this means learning anytime/anywhere

In my talk I'm going to focus primarily on the third of these possibilities and engage with five themes:
1 The inclusive challenge facing all universities & teachers
2 Lifewide learning - the most inclusive concept of learning, development and achievement
3 Lifewide Curriculum / Lifewide Education –  approaches used in formal education  that can embrace the most inclusive concept of learning, development and achievement
4 Inclusive concepts of personal creativity - concepts that can include everyone in their everyday life
5 Ecologies for learning, development & achievement within which  inclusive concepts of learning and achievement, including creative achievements, can be embedded and realised
