    Education for All Week 6 - Final words
    (2018-06-01) McKenzie, Judith; Ohajunwa, Chioma
    In this video, Judith McKenzie and Chioma Ohajunwa discuss the highlights of the Educational for All MOOC and the community engagement around it. They discuss the kinds of feedback and experiences shared by the MOOC participants. Judith discusses how inclusive education can benefit not just children with disabilities (and their families) but also assist children without disabilities, particularly in fostering a greater sense of acceptance of diversity. They discuss the importance of a community-based approach to learning, and ask that the participants of the MOOC carry on their learning and engagement with each other after the MOOC in order to sustain the Community of Practice that has begun to emerge around inclusive education.
