The Digital School - Can Everyone Participate on Equal Terms?

Abstract

This paper examines the accessibility of digital learning tools in Norwegian schools, highlighting significant deficiencies that hinder equitable participation, especially for students with disabilities. Through inspections, surveys, and stakeholder consultations, critical gaps in compliance and competence are identified. Recommendations are provided to strengthen regulatory enforcement, enhance teacher training, and support the procurement of accessible learning resources, aiming to ensure all students can equally benefit from digital advancements in education.
