Equity Oriented Design (EOD)
Equity Oriented Design (EOD)
It is important for nurse educators to intentionally include equity-oriented design (EOD) into pre-licensure nursing courses to meet the needs of all learners.
There is no one-size-fits-all to nursing education.
Students enter nursing programs with diverse learning needs. Variation in student learning needs is normal, as opposed to the exception (Singleton et al., 2019).
EOD is educational design principles that support all learners.
EOD gives every student the opportunity to achieve fair and comparable outcomes regardless of background, ability, or life experience (University of Tennessee Chattanooga, 2023a).
