Course summary
This course equips educators, university students, public sector practitioners, innovation hub managers, product teams, and development practitioners with the competencies to diagnose, design, and govern inclusive digital systems that expand opportunity rather than reproduce inequality. It blends digital inclusion practice: covering access, affordability, accessibility, literacy, and safety; with equity-by-design methods including user research, inclusive data practices, accessible UX, participatory governance, and impact evaluation.
Designed as a transfer-focused eCourse, every unit produces a classroom or workplace-ready artifact from stakeholder maps and research plans to risk registers and localisation guides that participants can deploy immediately in their own context (education, public services, health, finance, agriculture, or civic technology). No prerequisites are required; basic digital literacy is recommended. The course culminates in a capstone Inclusion Action Plan and Equity Impact Assessment applied to a real digital service chosen by the participant.
