#LetsDigIn #Erasmusplus #inclusiveeducation
This MOOC was initiated within the Erasmus+ project "DigIn," coordinated by experts from the field of "digitalization" and "inclusion." It is aimed at teachers in primary and secondary education (grades 1-9), school assistants, guardians, and all others interested in inclusive education in the digital age.
Keeping in mind that digitalization and inclusive education offer both opportunities and challenges for various educational systems – for their personnel, teaching methods, and school development – this MOOC aims to initiate change processes in everyday school life.
In five modules, the MOOC provides insight into various topics, including universal design for learning and accessibility, usability, and assistive technologies. Furthermore, it provides teaching examples for how to use digital tools in the classroom, shows how to organize cooperative learning opportunities, and gives ideas for digital-inclusive instructional development.
This MOOC aims to strengthen teachers’ skills along with those of anyone interested in the field of digital inclusive education. We want to prepare them to teach students with disabilities in the digital age.
Why do we use the term "students with disabilities"? We follow the definition set out by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: “Persons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.”
Sadržaj
Sadržaj tečaja
This MOOC aims to strengthen the competences of teachers and all those interested in the field of digital inclusive education in order to enable students with disabilities to participate in media-based education. The content is based on the "European Framework for Digital Competence for Educators" of the European Union (DigiCompEdu), specifically on the competence area five "Empowering Learners." This area focuses on three distinct aspects of educators’ professional activities:
- Accessibility and inclusion: To ensure accessibility to learning resources and activities, for all learners, including those with special needs. To consider and respond to learners’ (digital) expectations, abilities, uses and misconceptions, as well as contextual, physical, or cognitive constraints to their use of digital technologies.
- Differentiation and personalization: To use digital technologies to address learners’ diverse learning needs, by allowing learners to advance at different levels and speeds, and to follow individual learning pathways and objectives.
- Actively engaging learners: To use digital technologies to foster learners’ active and creative engagement with a subject matter. To use digital technologies within pedagogic strategies that foster learners’ transversal skills, deep thinking, and creative expression. To open up learning to new, real-world contexts, which involve learners themselves in hands-on activities, scientific investigation, or complex problem solving, or in other ways increase learners’ active involvement in complex subject matters.
This MOOC is divided into the following modules:
- Module 1: Universal Design for Learning
- Module 2: Accessibility and Usability
- Module 3: Assistive Technologies
- Module 4: Digital Technology for Inclusive Education
- Module 5: Socially Embedded Learning (online)
Ciljevi tečaja
Nakon završetka ovog MOOK-a, učesnici:
- Razmatraju kontekstualna, fizička ili kognitivna ograničenja u korištenju medija.
- Razumiju važnost ravnopravnog pristupa odgovarajućim digitalnim tehnologijama i resursima.
- Mogu koristiti digitalne tehnologije i strategije (npr. pomoćne tehnologije) dizajnirane za učenike sa invaliditetom.
- Mogu razmotriti i odgovoriti na potencijalne probleme pristupačnosti prilikom odabira, modifikacije ili kreiranja digitalnih resursa.
- Razumiju principe dizajna za povećanje pristupačnosti resursima i digitalnim okruženjima koja se koriste u nastavi i mogu ih uspješno implementirati i primijeniti.
- Mogu kontinuirano pratiti i reflektirati o prikladnosti primijenjenih mjera za poboljšanje pristupačnosti u nastavi i prilagođavanje strategija u skladu s tim.
- Znaju kako koristiti digitalne tehnologije za vizualizaciju i objašnjenje novih koncepata na motivirajući i privlačan način.
- Znaju koristiti digitalne tehnologije kako bi omogućili učenicima da se aktivno bave predmetom, npr. koristeći različita čula. Na taj način stavljaju aktivnu upotrebu digitalnih tehnologija učenika u centar nastavnog procesa.
- Mogu odabrati odgovarajuće digitalne tehnologije za podsticanje aktivnog učenja u datom kontekstu učenja (npr. kooperativno učenje).
- Mogu reflektirati o tome koliko su prikladne različite digitalne tehnologije koje se koriste u povećanju aktivnog učenja učenika i prema tome prilagoditi strategije i izbore.
