In this recent­ly published poli­cy brief (opens in a new win­dow) some of the key fin­dings of the report on inclu­si­ve digi­tal edu­ca­ti­on and their rele­van­ce for poli­cy on inclu­si­on and digi­tal trans­for­ma­ti­on to build more resi­li­ent edu­ca­ti­on sys­tems are pre­sen­ted. The key mes­sa­ges rela­te to four inter­re­la­ted and con­nec­ted poli­cy are­as and their role in the digi­tal trans­for­ma­ti­on of inclu­si­ve edu­ca­ti­on:

  • tech­no­lo­gy
  • lear­ners and tea­chers
  • edu­ca­tio­nal insti­tu­ti­ons
  • regio­nal and natio­nal gover­nan­ce of the edu­ca­ti­on sys­tem.

The poli­cy brief aims to pro­vi­de infor­ma­ti­on and recom­men­da­ti­ons for poli­cy makers to con­sider the trans­for­ma­ti­on of digi­tal edu­ca­ti­on and inclu­si­ve edu­ca­ti­on as inter­re­la­ted.

The dos­sier is based on the Inclu­si­ve Digi­tal Edu­ca­ti­on (IDE) acti­vi­ty line of the Euro­pean Agen­cy for Spe­cial Needs and Inclu­si­ve Edu­ca­ti­on – Den­mark (Link opens in a new win­dow) aims to exami­ne in detail new prio­ri­ties and requi­re­ments in rela­ti­on to inclu­si­ve digi­tal edu­ca­ti­on and blen­ded lear­ning. The Insti­tu­te for Tech­no­lo­gy and Work (ITA), in coope­ra­ti­on with the Depart­ment of Pedago­gy at the Facul­ty of Social Sci­en­ces at the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Kai­sers­lau­tern, pre­pared a cor­re­spon­ding report describ­ing an over­all pic­tu­re of inclu­si­ve digi­tal edu­ca­ti­on and the pro­blems that still need to be sol­ved in this con­text. It out­lines the poli­ti­cal con­text for inclu­si­ve digi­tal edu­ca­ti­on and also deals with ques­ti­ons of vul­nerabi­li­ty and inclu­si­on.
