Microcredential Summary

This online micro-credential in Understanding Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity provides basic training around terminology and issues, to promote awareness, understanding and positive actions. The micro-credential aims to increase inclusive practices and improve the lives of LGBTI people by ensuring students understand the issues around diversities of sexual orientation and gender.  An outline of common terminology is provided with reference to further reading, and a guide to appropriate use of language is provided.
