Analyzing and evaluating checklist for inclusive learning environment

During last spring (2014) and this autumn our project team members have piloted the checklist for inclusive learning environment mostly with our teacher students and the students of special needs educator programme. As the project is slowly coming to its end, it is important to evaluate the received infromation and feedback we have got from the use of this list.

The evaluation and deeper analysis will be made in collaboration with DIP -project team but we also use an external service provider for this analysis. The idea is to make a customer / user survey about the usability of this list. The first feedback from the checlist have been ecouraging and it is said to be useful in many different ways. As the evaluation and analysis proceeds, we will share some thoughts about it in this blog.

Meanwhile, please check the blog Participatory Learning and Teaching and get yourselves introduced with the international online module!

Last - but not least - activities

The project's acting time is shortly coming to its end, as the project ends 31.12.2014. The rest of the project's working time is going to be spent on analysing the processes, making final conclusions and  disseminating and embedding the results. The effort is put to 1) disseminating, piloting and developing the checklist for inclusive learning environment, 2) developing, piloting and analysing the rerults from the international online learning module "Participatory Learning and Teaching" 3) improving the understanding of different aspects of student experience in higher education by continuing collaboration with partner universities and 4) summarizing the model of organizing benchmarking workshops in educational institutes as international collaboration. A lot of interesting work for the last four months!

The online learning module Participatory Learning and Teaching will start soon and some information from the participants will be published in blog. Another current topic for this autumn is the continuation of collaboration around the theme student experience. Ideas, practices and information is shared between partner universities by both face-to-face and online meetings.


At this point I have to say that although the project and this process has been interesting and rewarding from the very beginning, I never could have imagined all the great things and especially the wonderful people I have met and experienced during this project. When reflecting the results realized in the project so far, I think we can be satisfied: the appointed goals are fulfilled.
