Within the framework of ICL2024 conference: Futureproofing Engineering Education for Global Responsibility
Title: Special Seminar: Accessible Learning and Technologies
Acronym: SALT
* The seminar "Accessible Learning and Technologies" is partially funded by the Scientifics Research Fund of the Republic of Bulgaria through Grant Number KP-06-N42/4 (Project "Digital Accessibility for People with Special Needs: Methodology, Conceptual Models and Innovative EcoSystems")
Overview
This seminar includes papers related to accessibility and accessible learning with related technologies, resources, standards, repositories, policies, methods, environments and best examples. Accessibility (incl. people with disabilities) is not wishful thinking anymore, it is a must and an obligation for institutions, organizations, and education facilities in different nations and countries across the world (and especially in EU), part of human development. Technologies also develop fast and enable new ways for communication and presentation of information in ways that are more interactive, understandable and adjustable to different needs. An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16% of the global population, or 1 of every 6 experience significant disability, according to WHO (https://shorturl.at/lmrX3, 2020-2021). One of every 4 people in the EU happens to live with a disability in their life and the percentage rate is increasing considering EU demography. Worldwide technologies, practices, laws and policies at national and international level are improving toward more inclusive and accessible education, including for people with different disabilities, as education and cultural access is part of human rights and policies for peace and human development.
