             Summary




             To summarize everything that has been presented so far, we advise the following actions
             to assure inclusive digital education:



             1. Adaptation of Access to Education


             Objective:  Customize  digital  education  experiences  to  meet  the  unique  needs  of  each
             learner, which will ensure that no one is left behind.
             Actions:

             ▪Implement adaptive learning technologies that adjust to the learning pace and style of
             each student.
             ▪Offer a range of accessible content formats (text, video, interactive simulations etc.) for

             different abilities and preferences, which will ensure a personalized learning journey for
             every student involved.
             Hint:

             2. Provide Adequate Training and Resources for Educators


             Objective: Educators should have comprehensive training and a variety of ICT resources
             to  effectively  teach  students  with  diverse  needs  and  learning  preferences  in  a  digital
             setting. They should be able to effectively use at least some of the presented resources.

             Actions:
             ▪ Develop  and/or  provide  access  to  professional  development  programs  focused  on
             inclusive teaching strategies and digital tools. The educator should choose which of the

             presented resources is best suitable for the specific student or group of students.
             ▪Find relevant and adaptive digital resources and educational materials that cater to a
             broad spectrum of learning styles and needs.
