In the following video, Deakin students share their thoughts and insights about inclusive learning. The points they raise will be addressed throughout the various topics in Inclusive Teaching Tips. These include the benefits of using the following to enhance inclusivity:

• quality PowerPoint slides that frame and signpost the class/lecture content
• iLectures (lectures available online via Echo) to allow students to revisit and revise content
• discussion boards in cloud unit sites to promote collaborative online learning communities through critical discussion, reflection and Q&A
• practical 'hands on' learning activities that put theory into practice e.g. role play
• group work to encourage collaboration and different ways of learning
• making assessments and essays relevant to real world scenarios and careers
• modelling learning tasks
• annotated readings and reading guides to aid understanding and how these fit with the course/unit work and learning outcomes
• videos as learning tools
• ePortfolios e.g. to upload weekly reflections and journal entries, which can be used for revision and to scaffold assessment tasks
