How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content
There are six topics in this paper. For each topic there will be a topic overview on Moodle with hyperlinks to stories of disabled people, resources, reports and contemporary issues. There is a set reading for each topic along with recommended readings. Every two weeks there is a Zoom Hui that students are encouraged to attend - if students cannot attend they will be able to watch the Hui recording. These sessions are intended to be for sharing ideas, reflections or learnings and deepening of understanding about the paper topics. There is a student Discussion Forum - students are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas on this forum - this can be done in writing or other formats. Participation in the Zoom Hui and Discussion Forums is important for students to develop a critical understanding of the topics through engaging with each other as a community of learners.
