Utilising emancipatory approaches to educational technology in higher education allows welcoming creative and artistic modes of inquiry. This article presents two methods, a virtual makerspace and a guided fantasy story that were applied in a project concerned with rewilding higher education pedagogy. It is argued that the methods encouraged…

The aim of this research is to reveal the awareness of teachers working in inclusion environments and their use of educational technology. Specifically, in this mixed methods study, a needs analysis was conducted to determine the knowledge levels of teachers about inclusive education, their awareness and use of educational technologies, and what…

This paper charts a forward-looking roadmap for open universities, drawing upon their historical evolution and current practices. It advocates a shift toward a universally accessible, personalized education system. At the heart of this proposed advancement lies the customization of learning paths and experiences, where individualized advising and…

One of the ultimate problems of moral philosophy is to determine who or what is worth moral consideration or not. "Morality" is a relative concept, which changes significantly with the environment and time. This means that morality is incredibly inclusive. The emergence of AI technology has a significant impact on the understanding and…

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…

In our increasingly digitized society, where technology use is ubiquitous, nearly all activities require access to and proficiency using digital tools. Proficient internet use may lead to the pursuit of higher education, launching a fulfilling career, or part of habits and healthy lifestyles where education is lifelong and life-wide. This study…

This study aims to investigate potential means to bridge the digital divide between person with and without disabilities in Malaysia. A conceptual framework with one endogenous variable (digital divide) and two exogenous variables (government initiatives and assistive technology) was developed. The study applied quantitative survey research…

Digital inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities is not commensurate with those without disabilities. Societal, political, financial, individual and interpersonal barriers help explain this disparity. Caregivers can act as both support and gatekeeper to internet access and use by adults with intellectual disabilities. This study…

Education based on the Internet of Things (IoEdT) emerges as a new conceptual paradigm to define the use of wireless technology as a collaborative tool in teaching-learning processes. Based on this concept, this study explored the potential of the IoEdT as a response to the problems of social inclusion of students with disabilities. In this way,…

Emerging technologies present new possibilities for schools, but also present ethical issues for designers. Ethical issues arising from the design, accessibility, adoption, and implementation of emerging technologies in schools are intertwined with existing power dynamics, hierarchies, and decision-making norms that perpetuate entrenched…

In recent years there has been a gradual increase in scientific production on the application of Augmented Reality (AR) in students with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). However, a global picture of the field of study has not been established to allow us to study its evolution. As a result, we propose to analyse conceptually, intellectually and…

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…

This conceptual paper draws on a wide range of research and policy literature, providing a contemporary view of issues, factors and practices that affect education for digitally excluded populations. Concern for how education for digitally excluded populations can be supported is focal to this paper, with different sections offering key related…

This paper discusses the ethical challenges presented by artificial intelligence (AI) within the instructional process for students with disabilities. The authors briefly overview technological changes in education and applications of AI in education in addition to policy. Discussion is directed toward the development of an ethical pedagogy using…
