Abstract
Inclusive teaching in higher education emphasizes interactions, equal opportunities, and care, but Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) students face challenges in the classroom. While online education allows all students access to education, it amplifies disparities, particularly for marginalized groups. BIPOC students face discrimination and technology gaps, impacting their academic experiences. Bridging the divide between BIPOC and non-BIPOC students, addressing biases in the classroom, and promoting diversity and inclusion are essential to ensuring that all learners feel valued and supported. Rethinking course design and providing necessary resources can help foster an inclusive educational classroom where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
