Introduction: Over 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities, necessitating their inclusion in health systems and workplaces. Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing accessibility and digital inclusion for these individuals, improving everyday tasks and enabling autonomous mobility. AI can be applied to visually impaired, reduced…

This review examines the design and configuration of AI-powered 21st-century classrooms to align with modern pedagogical approaches. The objective was to identify the main characteristics of innovative classroom design through a systematic literature review analysing 90 articles from the Scopus database. The SPAR-4-SRL protocol guided the…

This study examines the potential of inclusive design in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to address the impact of stereotype threat, a significant barrier encountered by underrepresented groups, particularly in STEM education. As online learning opportunities grow, the demographic composition of course participants frequently does not reflect…

Amid rapid technological advancements, it is increasingly crucial for educational technology research to move beyond a narrow focus on tools and gadgets, addressing instead the broader social and ethical challenges these technologies bring to education and human performance. Translational research, with roots in the biomedical sciences, is…

The advancement of technology in education has transformed traditional classrooms into virtual learning environments yet concerns persist about how these technologies may inadvertently perpetuate racial stereotypes. Our study employed a 2 × 2 factorial design, with the first factor being the race of participants (Black, White) and the second…

Inclusion is widely recognized as one of the founding principles for the quality of educational institutions and it is strictly related to the ICF perspective. Actually, the conceptualization of educational needs is associated to the enhancement of everyone's strengths and potential, and to the influence the (physical and social) environment may…

A primary challenge encountered by students with disabilities in mathematics relates to their inherent limitations in working memory capacities. Memory-strengthening strategies are helpful to students who need to improve mathematics retention. This article discusses enhancing mathematics learning outcomes for students with disabilities in rural…

Background/purpose: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has the potential to address inequalities and enhance teaching and learning outcomes. However, challenges such as AI biases, limited teacher literacy, and resource constraints hinder equitable implementation, especially in contexts like South Africa. This study…

The study examined Nigeria Science and Mathematics Teachers' intention towards adopting the CL4STEM technology-based instructional (OER) modules to enhance higher-order thinking with Inclusion and Equity (HOTIE). The study adopted a descriptive correlational design. The population of the study was all mathematics and science teachers in some…

This paper explores the use of a gamified digital intervention to build connected and relational spaces for students in higher education which reach beyond the places and spaces of the traditional learning environment. These informal learning spaces can be seen to facilitate the development of students' transferable skills. The project…

Background/purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges faced in developing teachers' ability to use accessible digital technologies, as well as their knowledge, understanding, and skills in pedagogical and inclusive technology methodologies. These are aimed at implementing the goal of providing equitable and accessible…

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in special education holds promise for transformative changes in special educational leadership and pedagogical practices. Special education leaders play a pivotal role in leveraging AI to address diverse student needs, enhance instructional delivery, personalize learning experiences, and foster…

COVID-19 triggered a worldwide shutdown of educational institutions, leading to the adoption of virtual modalities of learning to enforce social distancing in practice. This sudden transition has however posed considerable challenges for special educators tutoring students with special educational needs. This study investigates how effective…

Utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology in educational institutions for students with mild intellectual disabilities offers promising avenues for enhancing this population's learning outcomes and skill development. This study aims to investigate the effect of using generative conversational AI to improve English communication skills…

The use of technology in higher education has been shown to have multiple learning benefits, providing great help to all students. However, more evidence is needed on the benefits of technology for inclusive higher education through the analysis of classroom practices.
