No full text available

Abstract or Description

Disability, as defined by the United Nations, encompasses long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that interact with societal and physical barriers, hindering equal participation in society. In universities, up to 28% of students disclose disabilities, and 17% of the population will acquire a disability during their working lives.

Various technologies, supported by initiatives like reasonable adjustments, library programs, and the Disabled Students’ Allowance in the UK, aid learners with disabilities. The Access to Work Scheme further supports educators with disabilities in maintaining employment. The advent of Artificial Intelligence has introduced significant changes, raising concerns about data privacy, advantage, academic integrity and ethics.

This session will delve into the technologies used in education, analysing their dual role in hindering and enhancing the learning experience. It will also address their impact on human flourishing, relationships, and the ethical considerations surrounding their use.
