implementation has extended to other colleges in the University, fostering a
better understanding of inclusive learning design.

Sustainability and transferability

For continued implementation of practices that foster equity and access in higher
education, sustainability and transferability can be assured through

comprehensive and continuous support encompassing administrative,
pedagogical, and technological aspects. Furthermore, there is a need for

recognising and supporting champions who excel in the designing and

implementation of InFLeX. These faculty members can play a crucial role in
maintaining the peer mentoring program, which further supports the adoption of

inclusive learning design. The REACH framework has proven to be a useful guide

for implementing inclusive course design. It should be continued to be used as a
reference for future course development and enhancements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BUKA MSU-IIT Capacity Building project had a positive impact

on the University, leading to increased utilisation of MOLÉ, improved course

design, enhanced student engagement, and successful adoption of inclusive
learning practices. To ensure the sustainability and transferability of these positive

outcomes, ongoing comprehensive support and recognition of champions are
necessary, along with continued utilisation of the REACH framework as a guiding

tool.
