This book addresses a range of topics in design, such as universal design, design for all, digital inclusion, universal usability, and accessibility of technologies for people regardless of their age, financial situation, education, geographic location, culture and language. It especially focuses on accessibility for people with auditory, cognitive, neurological, and visual impairments, ageing populations, and mobility for those with special physical needs. The book explores some of the overlaps between inclusive design and web accessibility to help managers, designers, developers, policy makers, and researchers optimize their efforts in these areas. Based on the AHFE 2018 International Conference on Design for Inclusion, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, it discusses new design technologies and highlights the disparate needs of the individuals within a community. Thanks to its multidisciplinary approach, it is a valuable resource for readers from various backgrounds, providing them a timely, practice-oriented guide to design for inclusion.

“Las TIC constituyen un punto de partida y en muchas ocasiones supondrán la diferencia entre la exclusión y la inclusión. Desde esta perspectiva, si no utilizamos tecnologías inclusivas en las aulas, es probable que estemos contribuyendo a dicha exclusión” (Soto, 2013, p. 14). El presente texto ofrece a la comunidad educativa varias experiencias relacionadas al uso de las tecnologías de información y comunicación como recurso de apoyo en la educación de estudiantes con discapacidad, experiencias que surgen como, resultado del proyecto de investigación denominado “Estudio de la Aplicabilidad del Enfoque Ecológico Funcional en la Educación de Estudiantes con Discapacidad en el Ecuador”, ejecutado por el Grupo de Investigación de Educación Inclusiva (GEI) de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana del Ecuador entre enero de 2016 y junio de 2017. El mencionado proyecto se desarrolló en el marco del curso de formación continua de “Diseño Curricular desde una perspectiva ecológica funcional”, auspiciado por CBM Internacional en el que participaron docentes y directivos de instituciones educativas de todo el país que brindaron su aporte al proyecto como informantes directos y recogiendo información que permitió el análisis del estado de la situación educativa de los estudiantes con discapacidad en el país.

This book presents the first ever comprehensive overview of national laws recognising sign languages, the impacts they have and the advocacy campaigns which led to their creation. It comprises 18 studies from communities across Europe, the US, South America, Asia and New Zealand. They set sign language legislation within the national context of language policies in each country and show patterns of intersection between language ideologies, public policy and deaf communities’ discourses. The chapters are grounded in a collaborative writing approach between deaf and hearing scholars and activists involved in legislative campaigns. Each one describes a deaf community’s expectations and hopes for legal recognition and the type of sign language legislation achieved. The chapters also discuss the strategies used in achieving the passage of the legislation, as well as an account of barriers confronted and surmounted (or not) in the legislative process. The book will be of interest to language activists in the fields of sign language and other minority languages, policymakers and researchers in deaf studies, sign linguistics, sociolinguistics, human rights law and applied linguistics.

Para ello, se toma como contexto la llamada «sociedad de la información y el conocimiento», en donde se ha definido una nueva ordenanza global que deviene en marco de referencia para entender los procesos de transformación que se les requieren a las universidades, en términos de políticas educativas, para la innovación de su currículo, los modelos educativos, como la transformación de las prácticas pedagógicas de sus académicos. Lo obra integra una serie de textos en donde se analiza el fenómeno educativo, con énfasis en el papel que jueganlos docentes en la configuración de ambientes educativos que contribuyan al aprendizaje de sus estudiantes, para lo cual se proponen tres capítulos: «Perspectivas en la educación y el pensamiento complejo», «Comunicación, diversidad y mediación educativa» y «Sujetos de la educación y ámbitos emergentes para la enseñanza». Cada uno de los cuales se compone de textos que, en lo particular, abordan temáticas que permiten ampliar el horizonte desde el cual pueden se comprendidas problemáticas que caracterizan a la educación contemporánea en el nivel superior.
