This Inclusive Design Guide has been developed to support staff who are involved in the curriculum design process. It brings together a range of definitive information about inclusive course design at Sheffield Hallam University.
Whatever your experience, our Designing an Inclusive Curriculum Design Guide is intended to support you and your course team in a practical way, it aims to help you make the most of the opportunity the design and validation process provides to plan and develop your course. It contains up-to-date information which is applicable and useful to anyone who has a role in creating and refreshing courses and incorporates references to faculty-based information and resources where relevant.
Our vision is ‘Sheffield Hallam: A Culture of Inclusion’. This means creating a diverse, inclusive and welcoming environment in which everyone feels they belong, irrespective of background or identity. The Hallam Equity, Equality and Inclusion (EEDI) Framework sets out our vision, aims and equality objectives that will guide Hallam towards becoming the inclusive university we aspire to be.
The Hallam Model Inclusive Prompts have been devised to support course design teams to align the Hallam Model principles with those of an inclusive curriculum. These prompts can be found under reach of the principles, Engage - Challenge - Collaborate - Thrive and are used as part of the course approval process to support course design teams to apply an inclusive lens to their teaching, learning and enhancement practices and will be explored during the validation panel event. The prompts consist of an introduction module followed by a section on each principle giving examples of how you might illustrate how the course will achieve each of the associated prompts.
