SPECIAL TRACK
Learning Technologies in Special Education and Inclusion
You are hereby invited to contribute to the dedicated track on learning technologies targeting special education and inclusion, held during the 2nd EAI International Conference on Design, Learning & Innovation.
As educational technology targeting inclusion currently is a highly topical area. How is it possible in both a global and local perspective to investigate – and employ the affordances of technologies in the design for social inclusion of the disadvantaged in general, and of learners with physical and mental special needs in particular? What is the inclusive and educational potential of robotics (r-technologies) or other technologies for acting as vehicles for empowering the disadvantaged and special needs learners and support the development of digital and social competencies?
We thus welcome and encourage academics as well as designers and practitioners working in this cross-disciplinary field, to submit a paper to this dedicated track.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.
Accepted Authors may submit an extended version of their work to EURODL (European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning) (https://www.eurodl.org/)
TOPICS
The topics that can be addressed are (but not limited to):
- New digital/educational practices;
- New digital/educational tools;
