An online, asynchronous human rights module is available to undergraduate students to support equity, inclusion and anti-oppression education at Carleton.
Designed to take 60 to 90 minutes to complete, it introduces key human rights concepts and explores how these principles are upheld at Carleton in alignment with the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plan (Section 9.2)
Instructors are invited to share the module with students by mentioning it in class, in the course syllabus and/or Brightspace to encourage participation. For instructors who are interested in extending students’ learning and engagement in the module content, there is a short document that provides some suggestions for add-on assignments and activities that can be brought into their courses. Instructors may choose to offer credit for completion and/ore integrate module content into course materials or discussions
Students who complete the module and all its components will receive a certificate of completion and a Brightspace badge.
Based on initial data collected, the majority of students report their knowledge and familiarity with key concepts related to human rights is higher upon completing the module than prior to their engagement with the module.
For those interested in incorporating the module into teaching or exploring related discussions, Krista Craven, Equity and Inclusion Learning Specialist (kristacraven@cunet.carleton.ca), is available to provide resources and pedagogical support.
