Diversity in the Workplace – an e-learning course

Introduction

Durham University has invested in an on-line Equality and Diversity e-learning module. The course, developed by Marshall ACM, is available to all staff, whatever their level of responsibility and can be accessed from any internet ready computer.

All staff should have a basic understanding of equality and diversity and how it affects them, their immediate workplace, their department and the university as a whole. This on-line package will provide such knowledge, and for those more familiar with the issues, there are links to news stories and external articles, as well as a range of case studies designed to further develop knowledge and understanding.

The course normally takes no more than 40 minutes to complete.  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.

Staff who complete the Diversity in the Workplace e-learning module will have their success recorded. The administration system that comes with the Module keeps track of this automatically; you don't have to remember to contact anyone.
