The Inclusive Design Research Centre at OCAD University is the nexus of a growing, open, global community engaging in proactive inclusive co-design of emerging systems and practices in education. To foster mindsets that value human differences, the Flexible Learning for Open Education project at the Inclusive Design Research Centre will: co-create inclusive learning communities across opposing views; support intergenerational engagement between struggling students and isolated elders for mutual benefit; co-design decision tools and success metrics that value diversification; and support ethical decisions about artificial intelligence in education. This will advance and build capacity to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the field of open education. (Substrategy: Field Building)
