9. Opportunities: Technology

10. 1. Technology
Advances in ICT and improved access to it created unprecedented opportunities to reach users globally:
Anytime Regardless of the time zone.
Anywhere Regardless of the location of the content provider and content user.

11. CHECK THIS STATEMENT: Globally 3
CHECK THIS STATEMENT: Globally 3.2 billion people are using the Internet by end 2015, of which 2 billion are from develop countries • For every Internet user in the developed world there are 2 in the developing world • However, 4 billion people from developing countries remain offline, representing 2/3 of the population residing in developing countries • Of the 940 million people living in the least developed countries (LDCs), only 89 million use the Internet, corresponding to a 9.5% penetration rate

17. Opportunities: Digital inclusion

18. Digital inclusion is “a phenomenon whereby marginalised people, in this case disabled people, are able to access and meaningfully participate in the same learning, employment, social and citizenship activities as other, through access to and use of digital technologies”.
(Seale et al., 2010, p. 445)

19. Not having access: Lack of infrastructure or devices
Not being able to use technology: Lack of skills or accessibility features
Not knowing how to use technology: Lack of knowledge
Digital inclusion is often defined in negative terms and linked to social exclusion. Giving access to those...

22. 2. Digital inclusion
Based on negative definition of digital inclusion solutions for digital inclusion were improved:
Accessibility To technology
Knowledge and skills On how to use technology.

23. Access and training are not the only key to digital inclusion.

24. Digital inclusion, like disability, is about an interaction between an individual and his and her environment.

25. Digital inclusion framework (Seale et al, 2010)
Technology, personal and contextual factors, representing the complex, multilayered nature of digital inclusion,
Resources and choices, representing some of the ways in which technological, personal, and social factors express their influence
Seale et al. (2010) developed a conceptual framework to explore digital inclusion of students with disabilities in higher education, that I see applicable to any other environment as it takes into consideration these two strands. I also parallels complexity of disability with personal and contextual factors

26. Opportunities: Action

27. How do we achieve digital inclusion of persons with disabilities in digital learning environments?

28. Universal design for learning (UDL) can help you minimize barriers and maximize learning for all.

29. Universal design for learning
The why of learning Multiple means of engagement
For purposeful, motivated learners, that stimulate interest and motivation for learning
The what of learning Multiple means of representation
For resourceful, knowledgable learners, present information in different ways.
The how of learning
Multiple means of action & expression
For strategic, goal-oriented learners differentiate the ways student express what they know.
