Dignispace is an innovative and evidence informed digital resource underpinned by the PANEL principles - Participation, Accountability, Non Discrimination, Empowerment and Legality] principles of the Scottish Human Rights Framework [Scottish Human Rights Commission, 2017]. Dignispace was co-produced with students through interdisciplinary research. It is the first such resource on Dignity education using a Human Rights lens to interrogate the abstract nature of Dignity. DigniSpace provides an online space and structure at three levels with focused learning activities for each of the PANEL principles using reflective learning as individuals or in a group. The project was funded by the Sir Halley Stewart Trust.

Frequently asked questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
