Policies and Practices for Assessing Inclusive Teaching and Learning

Education has gradually moved away from an elitist and exclusive mindset (based on power and privilege claims) and towards a more democratic and inclusive mindset (based on justice and human rights claims). In considering the need for Educational Institutions to put into place support mechanisms to assist students to adapt to schools, colleges, and universities amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important to better understand how students operate and learn.

This book includes research studies that have examined how various inclusive online teaching and assessment practices have been implemented worldwide in response to the Covid-19 crisis that has challenged educators and students worldwide. It will provide practical suggestions to educators who need to employ new inclusive approaches to help their students overcome any difficulties they face due to the new hybrid learning approach they had to adopt. Recommendations for training educators and students in new inclusive online teaching and assessment practices and for implementing them successfully in various courses as well as suggestions for future research will be provided.
