Diversity in the Workplace

Bournemouth University has invested in an on-line e-learning module entitled Diversity in the Workplace, which can be accessed from any Internet-ready computer. Developed by Marshall ACM, the course provides the “must know” information every member of staff should have, whatever their level of responsibility. For those who are more familiar with equality and diversity issues, the course also includes links to news stories and articles on external web sites, and a range of case studies through which to deepen knowledge and understanding still further.

The course normally takes from an hour to ninety minutes to complete. One of the advantages of the module is that it does not need to be completed all in one session, or even from the same computer. There are quizzes along the way so you can test your understanding, with a final quiz at the end which must be passed to enable completion. You need not worry if you do not pass the module first time; it is designed to enable you to review previously read material, and retake the quizzes at any time.
