E-learning inclusivo e studenti con DSA a Roma Tre: dati di ricerca e prospettive di sviluppo.

Abstract

The growing presence of students with specific learning disorders (SLD) at Italian universities and the expansion of e-learning stimulate a reflection about the relationship between university e-learning and the right to study of students with SLD keeping in consideration of the typical characteristics of disorders of learning and the implications that these entail in the use of technology and the web. Even for students with SLD, technologies and e-elearning have to be facilitators of learning and participation. For this purpose, it is very important to guarantee technological support and an inclusive e-learning environment. This is necessary for going beyond the mere transmission of contents and represent a way of interpreting teaching that increases the value of traditional teaching thanks to the integration of communication. Within the debate about the inclusive dimension of university education and in the perspective of the bio-psyco-social model of the «human functioning», the paper presents a descriptive research aimed to investigate the real situation about both the use of technologies and the participation in e-learning environments for students with SLD of Roma Tre University.
