Online learning is becoming more prevalent (Aylmer, 2020) and institutions are seeing an increase in disabled students (HEFCE, 2017; Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the University System and Research [ANVUR], & National Conference of University Delegates for Disability [CNUDD], 2021; Rao, Edelen-Smith, & Wailehua, 2015).…

Over the past few decades, online schools have witnessed exponential growth. Nevertheless, the body of research on their effectiveness and viability as educational options for students with disabilities, as well as their offerings for diverse learners, remains surprisingly sparse. This deficiency in evidence is noteworthy, especially as the demand…

This study explores how technology is used and perceived by teachers and neurodiverse students in integrated co-teaching (ICT) classrooms within elementary school. The research identified significant similarities and some differences in the views of teachers and neurodiverse students concerning technology's role in education. Teachers and students…

This study investigates the correlation between how learners are classified in terms of disability and their perceptions of (1) the effectiveness of online instructional methods, (2) their self-efficacy levels, and (3) the accommodations they need. Conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown, the study included 278 higher…

A total of 10 U.S. participants were divided into…

Students with blindness or visual impairments (BVI) need to participate in scientific laboratory experiences at the K12 level to be successful in college-level science courses. These K12 level students need instruction to actively conduct science experiments and not only allow sighted students to conduct them. While it may be a challenge, with…

This study aimed to use a game-based learning (GBL) module with multi-scaffolding and mobile technology for high school students with mild intellectual disabilities (MID) to assist them in learning career education knowledge. This study used a quasi-experimental method to investigate the participants' learning effectiveness, motivation, flow…

Most North American colleges and universities switched to online courses during the COVID-19 pandemic.
