How could the content be improved?

Group exercise focused on reformulating non-inclusive comments found on online platforms, such as Stack Overflow, into more inclusive language. Participants will practice identifying comments that may be perceived as rude or unwelcoming and work collaboratively to transform them.

This exercise would enhances participants’ awareness of language use and also highlight the impact of inclusive communication on diverse audiences. By engaging in this practice, participants can better appreciate how comments may be interpreted differently based on the learners’ background, identity, or experiences.

Which part of the content does your suggestion apply to?

Episode 9: Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

we would likely need to scaffold this for time reasons to provide them example comments to revise but I think this could be a good way to make this episode more engaging per #1711
