Book excerpt: In today's rapidly evolving world, the digital learning gap presents a significant challenge, impacting the effectiveness of education and the development of essential skills for future generations. Traditional teaching methods often fail to meet students' diverse needs, leading to a skills gap between current and future workers. Additionally, the ambiguity in defining concepts such as the "heap paradox" and the inadequacies of traditional economic measures like GDP highlights the need for more nuanced and comprehensive approaches to education, environmental psychology, and sustainable development. Inclusive Educational Practices and Technologies for Promoting Sustainability offers a multifaceted solution to these pressing issues by exploring the transformative potential of Educational Technology (EdTech), the insights of environmental psychology, and the importance of holistic measures of human welfare. By showcasing how EdTech can bridge the digital learning gap, enabling teachers to employ diverse strategies and better meet students' needs, we demonstrate its potential to revolutionize education and support the growth of the next generation. The book also delves into the paradox of the heap, where logic, vagueness, and philosophy complicate our methods of thinking. It illustrates the complexities of everyday concepts and their relevance to environmental psychology while advocating for a deeper understanding of the human-nature relationship. Furthermore, the book examines sustainable development through a comparative analysis of GDP and the OECD's Better Life Index (BLI), statistically verifying whether GDP's focus on income inadequately reflects true human welfare. This analysis underscores the need for more holistic measures of development that capture the multifaceted nature of human well-being. By integrating these diverse yet interconnected topics, the book provides a comprehensive resource for academic scholars, offering innovative solutions that can be practically applied to enhance education, promote environmental stewardship, and ensure sustainable development.

Book excerpt: Sustainable Learning: Inclusive Practices for 21st Century Classrooms provides readers with the knowledge and skills to be confident and effective inclusive teachers. The authors show that these skills are essential to quality teaching – teaching that is evidence-based, purposeful, relevant and responsive to students' needs. The book employs three overarching frameworks to examine inclusive practices in education: equity (learning for all), values (learning that matters) and sustainability (learning that lasts). Chapter features include: • 'Think and do' exercises • Examples, case studies and vignettes • Tables, figures and diagrams to help readers visualise core ideas, theories and themes. It encourages teachers to see all students as developing learners and to consider the complexities and diversity of learning in the 21st century. In doing so, it canvasses topics such as a sustainable approach to inclusion, learning processes, teaching processes, differentiation, assessment to support teaching and learning, and life-long learning.

Book excerpt: Caring about others and the future is part of what makes us human, and it can be argued that improving the lives of people with disabilities improves the lives of all human beings. Most of what we do as a society for people with disabilities also improves life for others, and if we consider a person’s entire life, a disability of some kind will affect almost everybody at some point. This book, Assistive Technology: Shaping a Sustainable and Inclusive World, presents the proceedings of AAATE 2023, the 17th International Conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, held in Aubervilliers, France, from 30 August to 1 September 2023. For over 30 years, the biennial AAATE conference has focused on research aimed at improving the lives of people with a disability, and has become one of the main platforms for all stakeholders in the field. A total of 123 papers were submitted in the category intended for publication in these conference proceedings, and after a rigorous process involving review by at least three international reviewers, 74 were selected for inclusion here. Topics covered include service delivery of AT; AT for various groups such as older adults, children, and those with cognitive disabilities; mobility; privacy and security issues; and AT to promote inclusion and facilitate participation in education, culture, and work. Providing a comprehensive and current overview, the book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, manufacturers, decision-makers and providers, users of AT, and anyone else working in the field.

Book excerpt: Education is a fundamental human right that should be accessible to all, regardless of differences or abilities. In India, the journey towards achieving inclusive education for persons with disabilities has been marked by significant strides and ongoing challenges. This book, "Enhancing Inclusivity: Special Education Policies and Programs by the Government of India," aims to chronicle this journey comprehensively. From the early initiatives pre-Independence to the transformative policies and acts post-Independence, India's approach to special education has evolved significantly. This evolution is underscored by pivotal legislations such as the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (2016) and the National Education Policy (2020), which have shaped the landscape of inclusive education. Through meticulous exploration of government schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, and various scholarships, this book examines how these initiatives have enhanced access to quality education for students with disabilities across the country.
