Development of Digital Materials for Diversity and Social Inclusion Practices

Abstract

When addressing educational and social inclusion, it is fundamental to take into account several aspects, such as the fact that not only people with some difficulty benefit from them, the right of everyone to education, and the incorporation of those individuals excluded from the system based on gender, culture, race, or personal characteristics. Thus, the development of digital materials from and for the practice of diversity and social inclusion is an integrating element that, from formats such as augmented, mixed, or virtual reality, provides different possibilities in those areas where they are least integrated. This chapter addresses, firstly, the concepts of social inclusion and diversity, the influence and impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and the digital materials used in the educational scope from different analytical approaches.
