Teaching & Learning
From our base at the University of East London, the Rix Centre provides a wide range of teaching and learning packages on the use of ICT and multimedia with people with learning disabilities. These cover themes ranging from Web design and development to ‘Multimedia Advocacy’ and provide best-practice training as well as in-depth study of the values and issues that sit behind these new ways of working. Training and support is packaged in various formats to suit the full spectrum of learner needs tailored both for people with learning disabilities, their supporters and managers. Wherever possible we encourage students of different abilities to work together and learn from each other in ‘inclusive learning’ settings.
The Centre’s package of teaching and learning includes:
- Courses – range from inclusive 4 week ‘day-release’ short courses to full under-graduate and post graduate modules
- Support – blends with the training that we can provide for staff, service-users and organisations deploying all sorts of multimedia use with and for people with learning disabilities
