This course explains how to implement assistive technology in the classroom to provide students with diverse learning needs with positive classroom experiences by removing learning barriers and offering tools for success. First, we discover the guiding principles of Alberta Education's Inclusive Education fameworks. Then, we explore the implications of school-level decision-making regarding implementing assistive technology in K-12 settings.

Next, the course delves into the Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools (SETT) framework, which assists instructors in answering issues regarding specific student learning needs. After that, we cover the ethical concerns related to privacy, informed consent with users and data use in tailored instruction. Personalized learning systems enable students to participate in engaging one-on-one learning experiences. Ethical considerations in assistive technology implementation, such as deontological, consequentialist, and virtue theories, are further described.

We conclude by discussing how COVID-19 has affected curriculum content delivery and technology. We then study the shortcomings of remote learning and equitable access, such as financial constraints and equipment distribution. Finally, you'll understand how an education team of experts provides students with the best learning environments and digital technologies. Guaranteeing equal standards for each student should be at the core of every assistive technology deployment model.
