Why inclusive pedagogy?

Teaching isn’t keeping pace with learner diversity

One in five UK students declares a disability or learning difference, yet most teaching still relies on text-heavy methods. Inclusive pedagogy helps bridge this gap.

Inclusion is now a professional standard

Inclusive teaching is built into institutional frameworks. Educators are expected to design learning that’s accessible to all — and this course shows you how.

Film, TV and sound boost understanding

Using audiovisual media isn’t just more engaging — it’s evidence-based teaching that delivers improved comprehension and recall, making complex ideas click.

Course benefits

  • Root your teaching in sound pedagogical theory. Understand how inclusive, multimodal design draws on Universal Design for Learning (UDL), cognitive load theory, and evidence-based teaching principles.

  • Apply research-informed strategies that work in the real world. Translate theory into simple, effective techniques that make learning more accessible and engaging for all students.

  • Use audiovisual media with purpose and precision. Confidently integrate film, TV and radio to clarify complex ideas, spark discussion, and reach learners with diverse communication and sensory needs.

  • Access practical tools and templates for immediate impact. Use ready-to-go lesson planners, checklists and reflection exercises to embed inclusive pedagogy straight into your everyday practice.

  • Learn from best practice examples. Access case studies of how your peers are using film, tv and radio across a range of subjects to transform learning for their students.

  • Join a growing movement of innovators. All course participants will access a community of peers all dedicated to delivering inclusive pedagogy for their institutions.

“When I watch clips in class, I actually remember the information — it stays with me longer than when I just read about it.” Undergraduate student
