Paper Abstract:
|
Nowadays society heavily relies on computer technologies and knowledge. After the latest upsurge of industrialization, computer science has become a primary need for everyone interested in enjoying an active and fully integrated social life. Therefore, accessibility to modern computer technologies increasingly represents a possibility to know, learn and work. E-learning or distance learning is radically modifying the way individuals enhance their competences and is eliminating the long-standing barriers that have prevented many people, such as the deaf, from having access to formation and education. In particular, the availability of technology today has affected education too, and it can prove to be highly relevant to enhance the inclusion - and, along with it, the e-inclusion - of deaf and hard-of-hearing people by improving and/or devising new teaching modes and methods suited to teach competences and skills necessary to access the modern technological society. |
