Supporting Diverse Learning Needs in Higher Education

This group task focuses on understanding the unique needs of four diverse students and exploring appropriate support and equipment for each based on their individual backgrounds and circumstances. Participants will discuss Tom, Lei, Rose, and Junail, considering their specific challenges, such as hearing loss and varying degrees of confidence. The exercise emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to support and encourages consideration of factors like course load, placements, and living arrangements. Engage in critical thinking and collaboration to identify tailored solutions.
