"I’ve been attending the LODEI Online DEI Officer Certification course taught by Dr. Courtney Plotts for the last 7 months. The course is so relevant to my work as an Instructional Designer, to me personally, and honestly to anyone. Dr. Plotts facilitates the course in a way that feels reassuring, hopeful for humanity, and almost as a soothing counseling session. She is so good at what she does! Her passion about the topic shines through in all the ways she interacts with her learners. She practices what she teaches, and you can see it and learn it…truly. Courtney, you’re the best! Thank you!"
When instructional design and cultural responsiveness are combined, educators can create transformative learning experiences that reach and engage all learners, regardless of their backgrounds. By incorporating culturally relevant examples, diverse perspectives, and inclusive pedagogical strategies, instructional designers can create an environment where learners feel valued, understood, and supported. This approach not only enhances learning outcomes but also contributes to the development of empathetic, globally aware individuals who can thrive in diverse and interconnected societies.
