UCC shortlisted for John Kelly Award for Universal Design
On the 17th of October 2022, UCC attended the John Kelly Awards Ceremony in UCD. The UCC submission on the Inclusive University was shortlisted for the collaborative award. This category is aimed at higher education institutions and education and training boards who have used the Digital Badge to systematically develop UDL capacity in their college/centre, such as the development of communities of practice, institutional projects and new strategic actions. In part, the award aims to celebrate and promote the use of UDL in further education and higher education settings.
The John Kelly Award for Universal Design in Further and Higher Education recognises the innovative practice of teaching staff in further and higher education engaging with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to deliver a more inclusive learning experience for their students. It is targeted at practitioners who have demonstrated their emergent commitment to UDL by undertaking the Digital Badge for Universal Design in Teaching & Learning and making exciting changes to their practice above and beyond their initial redesign.
The presentation for UCC was made by Daisy Garde, Laura Lee and James Northridge.
