Laptop, notepad and coffee cup on a table

The Centre for Access, Participation and Success at The Open University held a sector-wide free seminar ‘Lessons from Digital Spaces: Inclusion and Support for Student Success’ on Wednesday 25 May 2022.  Our seminar opened with featured articles from a special edition of the Journal of Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning entitled ‘Lessons from Digital Spaces: Opportunities and Challenges for Widening Participation Through Online Learning’, focusing on Online Education.  We then moved to Digital Inclusion, providing a link between the two, with spotlight presentations from leading experts.  There was an interactive element and the sharing of resources.
