Consider making EIA lesson more engaging/interactive

[maneesha]

How could the content be improved?

Currently we have the following discussion/activities in the EIA episode.

• Core Values
  • Discuss The Carpentries Core Values
• Accessibiltiy
  • What Happens When Accessibility Is An Issue?
  • Activity: Applying Universal Design In Your Teaching
• Inclusion
  • No discussion/activity
• Equity
  • No discussion/activity

I taught this today, and because there are limited opportunties for discussion or other engagement, it comes across as very preachy. This made me uncomfortable. Opening this issue to discuss ideas to make the EIA episode more engaging. This is especially important for this episode because EIA issues can be very personal and sensitive, and I don't feel comfortable talking at people about this.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

Just come across this as I was looking to see if we have anything on Inclusive Language in the training. Would that be something we can add to this section? With examples and perhaps counter-examples? Or links to more info? I'm not sure about how to make it more engaging though!

@astroDimitrios could you open a separate issue where you expand upon what you mean by inclusive language? I think we should treat adding topics and adding activities on the existing topic separately (though it is possible we address both with a major rewrite, it is more likely these are separate discussions and PRs).
