ELEARNING CONTENT FOR EVERYONE
Expertly crafted content, exceptional value
The effectiveness of this course stems from the tough questions it asks. Students will need to carefully consider their self-awareness of bias, the power of prejudice and how they can commit to equality, diversity and inclusion.
The factors influencing our biases grow, as we grow older. While we do not have to feel guilty about our unconscious biases, it is important we address them, especially when they can negatively affect our views about university staff and services, possibly for arbitrary reasons.
Part 1: What is bias?
This section covers the understanding of what unconscious bias is, and where it comes from
Part 2: Impact of bias
This section focuses on the types of bias that are most common and how damaging these biases could be
Part 3: Overcoming bias
This section delivers crucial information that will enable students to acknowledge and overcome the biases that have been instilled in them

"I am delighted by the course that [Marshalls] developed for us and was especially impressed by their keenness to understand our needs and students properly. We have a strong need to help staff and students to understand unconscious bias and a course that explained the “theory” of unconscious bias with routes to further reading and help students to understand their own biases and how to address them. The final course dealt with unconscious bias in society using evaluation questionnaires that made it personal and relevant to the University of Edinburgh context."
- Professor Alan F. Murray, Assistant Principal, Academic Support, University of Edinburgh
