Elevating Higher Education : A Cutting-Edge Roadmap for Quality, Equity, and Inclusion With a Focus on Student and Instructor Mental Health in Multimodal Learning Environments
This white paper presents a comprehensive synthesis of definitions, practices, and recommendations to help instructors, course designers, and developers from a variety of disciplines, as well as policymakers, create and support high-quality, equitable, and inclusive learning and assessment experiences in hybrid, flexible or 100% online modalities that are sensitive to the well-being and mental health of their students in the postpandemic era.
The insights and recommendations presented in this white paper serve as a catalyst for reflection and action. By working together and harnessing the collective power of all stakeholders, we can create a transformative educational environment that supports the well-being and success of every individual in our higher education institutions.
This paper will be presented as part of the Symposium: Shattering barriers, which will be held on June 7.
