Assignment 403 Understanding inclusive learning and teaching in lifelong learning
1.
The term inclusion is used in a wide variety of contexts. It can focus on social inclusion, or on equal opportunities in all areas of life, whilst for others it highlights a possible need to overcome lack of ability with computers and current digital applications, or with reading, writing and use of maths.

• Allowing recording aids (with the consent of the group)
• Providing the following weeks course work (allowing more time for research)
• Having an informal approach to allowing students to leave the room when required without having to ask...
