Adapted Accessibility for All (3A)
The quick adaptation to the critical situation created by Covid-19 pandemics is challenged by the disparities in the access to technology of both learners and teachers and by the lack of know- how & support within the teachers community. Vulnerable children and vulnerable schools such as special schools and rural communities are the most affected by the sudden change in the learning environment.
Having this in mind, the idea of Adapted Accessibility for All – 3A shaped in our minds. We realized that educators need a set of digital competences specific to their profession in order to be able to seize the potential of digital technologies for enhancing and innovating education, with a focus on inclusion of students with special educational needs.
