Designing Equitable and Accessible Online Learning Environments

Lydia Kyei-Blankson

As the educational sphere witnessed an unprecedented shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, a pivotal transformation was set in motion. The surge in online enrollment, spanning synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid, and mobile formats, has established the digital domain as a formidable medium of education. However, this transition comes with a responsibility to uphold the principles of equality and accessibility, a responsibility that mirrors the concerns long prevalent in traditional brick-and-mortar classrooms. Designing Equitable and Accessible Online Learning Environments is a pioneering endeavor which delves into the multifaceted dimensions of online education and reveals a crucial revelation that students from disadvantaged backgrounds exhibit a pronounced affinity for online courses. This book magnifies the essence of this observation, venturing beyond the surface to uncover the means to cultivate a genuinely inclusive online pedagogical experience. Meticulously curated, this book amalgamates diverse perspectives from luminaries in the field. The ultimate aspiration is to empower educators, administrators, researchers, and students with a profound understanding of the symbiotic relationship between inclusivity and technology. From theoretical underpinnings to practical strategies, every chapter resonates with the heartbeat of equitable education in the digital age. Embarking on a comprehensive journey, this book is an exploration of design theories that embrace the ethos of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Topics span the spectrum, from deciphering the architecture of accessible digital tools to unraveling the tapestry of culturally responsive teaching in the virtual classroom.

Nina M. McCune

Diversity and inclusion are vital practices in today's educational environments, both online and in-person. Implementing inclusive practices to support student development is critical to ensure they receive the best possible education and feel comfortable in the classroom. With the current shift to online teaching and learning, it is especially important to consider how diversity and equity are promoted in these new technological spaces. Advancing DEI and Creating Inclusive Environments in the Online Space considers the process of creating a caring and inclusive teaching and learning environment in online postsecondary institutions by addressing key issues such as creating sites of collaboration and engagement, ensuring and proactively delivering resources and student support, and developing hallmarks of inclusivity to support online course design and faculty development. Covering a range of topics such as strategic planning, social change, and assessment, this reference work is ideal for administrators, higher education faculty, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.

Socioeconomic Inclusion During an Era of Online Education

Manuel B. Garcia

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated inequities and inequalities in accessing educational opportunities among different social groups. Consequently, the idea of inclusivity in education has become an abstract phenomenon that widens the digital divide and creates social injustice. This calls for an immediate coordinated response from all stakeholders of education and government to ensure that no one will be left behind as we navigate the so-called new normal. Without an appropriate intervention and sound policy guidance, negative repercussions may be so widespread that they will remain a problem in the education sector far into the future. Socioeconomic Inclusion During an Era of Online Education aims to bring together the school-wide pedagogies, practices, and policies that have been implemented or will be proposed to ensure inclusive education in online learning environments. Best practices and innovative approaches from various educational institutions serve as models to ensure everyone has access to a quality online education. Covering topics such as academic policies, educational technology, and curriculum development, this reference work is ideal for academicians, practitioners, researchers, scholars, instructors, and students seeking to adjust and adapt with teaching and learning online not only during a pandemic (i.e., emergency remote education) but also during "normal times.
