Abstract

This short paper introduces four very different papers on the use of learning technologies to support inclusive learning. It presents a brief overview of the Entelis Network which is supporting the session. It is introduced by a brief discussion of the barriers still experienced by many disabled people to education and employment and the potential of learning technologies to overcome some of these barriers.
