技术已经成为许多学习活动的核心，从用于课堂教育到工作培训，掌握一种新的爱好，或获得新的生活技能。虽然数字增强的学习工具可以提供宝贵的信息获取和个性化支持，但有特殊无障碍需求的人，如视力低下或无视力的人，往往可能被排除在使用之外。这要求技术开发人员构建更具包容性的设计，并提供可供具有混合视觉能力的人分享的学习体验。还可以整合DIY方法，为专业教师提供设计自己的低成本教育工具的能力，以适应教学目标和学生的视觉和认知能力的多样性。对于研究人员来说，这带来了新的挑战，即如何在往往复杂的教育环境中最好地支持技术采用及其评估。这次讲习班旨在将对无障碍和教育感兴趣的研究人员和实践者聚集在一起，分享这一领域技术方面的最佳做法和经验教训；并共同讨论和制定下一代包容性和有效的教育技术设计的未来方向。
Technology has become central to many activities of learning, ranging from its use in classroom education to work training, mastering a new hobby, or acquiring new skills of living. While digitally-enhanced learning tools can provide valuable access to information and personalised support, people with specific accessibility needs, such as low or no vision, can often be excluded from their use. This requires technology developers to build more inclusive designs and to offer learning experiences that can be shared by people with mixed-visual abilities. There is also scope to integrate DIY approaches and provide specialised teachers with the ability to design their own low cost educational tools, adapted to pedagogical objectives and to the variety of visual and cognitive abilities of their students. For researchers, this invites new challenges of how to best support technology adoption and its evaluation in often complex educational settings. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in accessibility and education to share best practices and lessons learnt for technology in this space; and to jointly discuss and develop future directions for the next generation design of inclusive and effective education technologies.
