Accessible ICT for Personalized Learning

This assignment analyzes the role of accessible Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in personalized learning for students with disabilities. It examines the importance of ICT competency frameworks for teachers and how technology can enhance the learning experience for disabled students. The document delves into the impact factors, including internet connectivity and cloud computing, on the successful implementation of ICT in education. The A3 model is also discussed as a framework for approaching accessible ICT integration in educational settings.

Electronic learning is effective in many ways. But it has
been observed that the children without any disabilities
were learning and improving. But it did not help the
disabled in an effective manner. Specific design needs to be
incorporated in order to benefit the dyslexic students.
A questionnaire is created by the author to find out the
efficiency of ICT on the learning of the disabled students.

This work focuses on the use of ICT in the learning process
of the disabled students. It shows that information and
communication technology has enhanced the ability of the
disabled students in several ways. Accessible ICT for
education has a broad aspect in the learning of the
students. The integrated polices adopted in school also
helps in improving the learning process of the students. A3
model is developed following a transition approach.
The imperative authorities of education follow a universally
accepted design approach in order to access the use of
