Abstract

The MA Education is a distance learning programme, aimed at educators based worldwide.
Recognising the transformation of education and the needs of its diverse cohort of students
in line with current debates on decolonising education and SDGs 4, 5 and 10 (quality
education, gender equality and reduced inequalities), the programme is undergoing a
transition to exploit the affordances of educational technology to ensure accessibility and
flexibility of delivery with the aim of enhancing student success. Drawing on the Community
of Inquiry model and showing examples of various interactive and multimodal elements; this
presentation will demonstrate how the use of these technologies can facilitate student
engagement and inclusion
