Article describing how digital tools and models can make seminars more accessible, for example by supporting diverse learning needs, offering alternative formats, and using technology to reduce barriers without undermining critical engagement.
It introduces the concept of “Diklusion” (the combination of digital media and inclusion) and presents a five-level model covering individual support, personalised learning, collaborative learning, organisational practices and digital participation in society. Examples include text-to-speech, screen readers, translation tools, collaborative platforms, learning videos and AI-based tools for adapting texts to different levels of difficulty.
Why it matters for ENACT-AI
It demonstrates practical uses of AI and digital tools to reduce educational barriers and support more inclusive learning environments. It encourages educators to consider how AI can adapt content to different learning needs while also placing AI within a broader framework of digital inclusion and equal participation.
Learning outcomes
Participants will be able to:
understand the concept of digital inclusion (“Diklusion”);
identify barriers that can prevent young people from participating equally in digital learning;
identify digital and assistive technologies that can support learners with different needs;
understand how AI can be used to adapt educational content and improve accessibility;
select appropriate digital tools according to learners’ individual needs;
design more inclusive and accessible learning activities;
reflect on the relationship between digital participation, inclusion and equal opportunities.
Suggested activity
“Make a Learning Resource More Inclusive” workshop. Participants select a short educational text and identify potential accessibility barriers. In small groups, they use digital or AI-supported tools to adapt the material—for example, by simplifying the language, translating it, converting it into audio or creating different difficulty levels. Groups then compare the original and adapted versions and discuss which adaptations genuinely improve accessibility and which may create new risks or limitations.
