1 INTRODUCTION
I am pleased to welcome you to the generic module Inclusive Education (INC3701) and hope
that you will find it very interesting and rewarding. The medium of instruction for this module
is English.
As your primary lecturer, I will do my best to ensure that your study of this module is
successful. Procrastination is the enemy of success. Therefore, you need to begin to
familiarise yourself with this module and study early in the year and resolve to do the
assessments (assignments) properly. This tutorial letter contains important information
about the scheme of work, reading material and assessments for this module. We urge you
to read it carefully and keep it at hand when you work through the study material and prepare
for the assessments, online discussions and other assessments.
In this tutorial letter, you will find the assessments and assessment criteria, as well as
instructions on the preparation and submission of the assessments. It also contains all the
information you need on the prescribed study material and other resources, and how to
obtain them. Please study this information carefully and make sure that you obtain the
prescribed and recommended material as soon as possible. We also include general and
administrative information about this module.
Please study this section of the tutorial letter carefully.
This module has two study guides. Please read and familiarise yourself with their contents.
The study guides contain important information and activities that will help you to master the
contents of this module and be able to do the assessments with much insight and diligence.
As a comprehensive open distance e-learning (CODeL) institution, Unisa is moving towards
becoming fully online. You will therefore see that all your study material, assessments, and
engagement with your lecturer and fellow students will take place online. This tutorial letter
is intended to offer you some guidance in this regard.
