Digital transition in education has been a springboard for some children to learn in new and dynamic ways. However, it has also proven to be a hindrance for others, if not done properly. Many with learning disabilities found it difficult to keep up with digital changes in school and beyond.
Supporting the inclusion of learners affected by learning disabilities, understanding diversity, and embracing diversity in society, especially in education, is even more complex within the digital transition. The ADEDU project will produce training that will help educators of learners with disabilities enhance their digital skills to facilitate inclusion in the education sector in Europe.
Aims
The ADEDU project aims at supporting educators, trainers and learning centres in upskilling and becoming more innovative by including people affected by learning disabilities.
