In 2024, funding was allocated to a work package under the broader id+ Project aimed at embedding adoption and implementation of Universal Design and Inclusive Assessment in a whole-of-institution approach. This project is the Inclusive Assessment Project.
Having appointed Inclusion Facilitators in each of the four colleges, the Inclusive Assessment Project aims include:
-
Mapping all of first year undergraduate assessment
-
Gathering insights on current practices, successes, challenges and considerations on inclusive assessment from staff and students
-
Leading discussions on best practice in inclusive assessment within the four colleges and university-wide
-
Delivering workshops to disseminate findings, invite input and ultimately develop resources to support inclusive assessment in UCC.
Prof. Stephen Byrne, Deputy President & Registrar, Project Sponsor
UCC is proud to support the rights of people with intellectual disabilities to participate fully in society. The id+ project aims to ensure those rights are realised in a sustainable way, across UCC and the wider Irish higher education sector.
Prof. Máire Leane, Project Lead
We are committed to providing university courses underpinned by principles of inclusion and rights, to enable people with intellectual disabilities to flourish and realise their full potential.
