INCLUSIVE E-LEARNING


Traditional material and situations for study or teaching can result in the 
exclusion of certain groups of persons. This may, for instance, be due to 
location or use of media. The potential reasons include: physical handicaps, 
cultural differences, individual learning styles and other personality-specific 
issues, or age-dependent limitations.
E-learning is, to a large extent, independent of location and time, and can 
provide for adaptable digital study or teaching material. It can thus enable 
such special groups of persons to enter and succeed the respective fields of 
learning.

On the other hand, the increased usage of multimedia and dynamic contents
and the ubiquitous presence of mobile devices can result in new barriers.

The topics addressed in this workshop include, but are not limited to, the 
following - in the general context of e-learning:

  -  Current or new concepts, scenarios and developments 
        concerning barrier-free contents and systems for teaching and learning.
  -  Studies of barrier-freeness and acceptance of teaching or learning contents.
  -  Novel methods for adapting teaching or learning contents to the learning
        goal and the student groups.
  -  Innovative technical tools or devices for teaching and learning.
  -  Development or studies regarding teaching/learning methods for
        handicapped students or teachers.
  -  Studies concerning education theory and praxis and e-learning with regard 
        to both the methods of teaching and the continuing education of teachers.
