About this event
As lifelong learning becomes central to higher education policy and practice, universities face a key challenge: designing curricula, assessment and learning environments that reflect the realities of contemporary student lives. Designing for Real Lives: Belonging, Evidence and Co-Creation in Lifelong Learning introduces the theoretical and evidential foundations of Professor Harriet Dunbar-Morris’ work on inclusive, evidence-informed curriculum design for lifelong learners.
Drawing on research on belonging, Universal Design for Learning and collaborative design, the session explores how concepts of being, belonging and becoming can be embedded at programme and module level. It introduces curriculum design charrettes and the Being, Belonging, Becoming (BBB) survey as practical tools for co-creating rigorous, inclusive learning across different life stages and modes of study.
