The use of ICT in the academic activity of college students with disabilities
Abstract
There is growing interest in Higher Education institutions to respond to the needs of students with disabilities. There are several elements linked to their academic participation which conform a set of factors that could act as a barrier or as a support in the inclusion process. Technology is one of them. Its duality is in the origin of this work, aimed to identify the role played by ICT in the development of academic life of students with disabilities in higher education settings, in reference to the technologies they use and the accessibility of the university webpage and the learning platform (“virtual campus”), to establish what and under which circumstances technology is a barrier or a support for this group of students.
