Course Description
Our Erasmus+ training course helps educators create inclusive and accessible learning materials, multimodal and relevant to different learning needs within the same classroom.
Content can create avoidable barriers that prevent learners from learning or showing understanding. As our classrooms become more and more varied in terms of skills and prior knowledge, teachers are asked to invest in personalised learning paths for their students. The course addresses this current educational challenge and the time-consuming tasks of teachers.
Participants will first review the language, complexity, structure, format, representation and accessibility of existing teaching resources across subjects and age groups.
The course will then guide participants in putting into practice concepts of multimodal learning, culturally responsive teaching and differentiation, using AI to create a classroom-ready lesson content and a practical checklist for adjusting future materials.
The course is suitable for primary, secondary and vocational teachers, special education staff, and adult education staff seeking Erasmus+ training in accessible content.
The training is workshop-based and participants are encouraged to bring real resources from their own subjects whenever possible. This approach allows teachers to compare the original and revised materials and explain how each design choice reduces a specific barrier.
Course Content
- Principles of accessible, inclusive and curriculum-aligned lesson content
- Effective AI prompting strategies and practice for material creation and adaptation
- Learner variability and barriers created by language, format and resource design
- Material audits and adaptation
- Multimodal learning principles and practices
- Identification and revision of stereotypes, bias, tokenism and narrow representation
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course delegates will be able to:
-
Identify accessibility barriers in teaching materials and lesson content
-
Improve instructional language and vocabulary support without reducing rigour
-
Convert content into purposeful multimodal and alternative formats
-
Apply practical accessibility criteria to new and existing resources
- Use AI efficiently and ethically to create accessible and differentiated classroom materials
-
Create accessible learning materials and differentiated resources for a lesson or short unit
Assessment and Certificates
Assessment of performance will be through delegate-completed portfolio of work. The final course certification for successful completion is a college-issued “Course Certificate of Completion”, for each module studied. In addition, where applicable, delegates will receive relevant EuroPass certificates.
