AHEAD is an independent non-profit organisation working to create inclusive environments in education and employment for people with disabilities. The main focus of our work is further education and training, higher education and graduate employment.
AHEAD provides information to students and graduates with disabilities, teachers, guidance counsellors and parents on disability issues in education. We undertake national research relating to the inclusion of students with disabilities, contribute to national policy forums and provide professional development opportunities to develop the capacity of staff in FET and higher education to be more inclusive.
AHEAD works with graduates and employers through the GET AHEAD Graduate Forum and the WAM Mentored Work Placement Programme.
By the end of the course, the participant understand how to: - add value to online delivery, - avoid unintended consequences, - prepare students to be productive with online resources, - design course layouts that support student's executive function, - benchmark your courses against standard frameworks and checklists, - build in quality assurance.
