Co-Design for Inclusion in Software Development Design

Guidelines for Using Co-Design in Module Development

In order to create an educational module that is student-centric, inclusive, and continually refined based on the insights and collaboration of all stakeholders involved there are a number of key points that need to be considered:

 

  • Consider motivation of both students and the lecturer.

  • Evaluate the adaptability of the module, while practical subjects like programming are adaptable to online delivery others may not be.

  • Ensure the critical allocation of resources and support from the School.

  • Student Involvement is crucial – the importance of active student involvement in design decisions, reflecting the power of co-operation in creating an effective and inclusive module.

  • Co-Create Learning Objectives: Collaboratively establish clear and student-centric learning objectives that align with the goals of the module.

  • Address Inclusivity: Specifically consider inclusivity within the co-design process, ensuring that the module caters to a broad range of students, including non-traditional learners.

  • Accessibility and Usability Experts: When relevant, involve accessibility and usability experts to ensure the module is accessible and user-friendly for all students.

  • Allocate Resources: Allocate necessary resources, such as time, equipment, and personnel, to support the co-design process and the development of the module.

  • Instructional Design Support: When needed, engage experts or specialists to assist in design and development
