Project summary

The Euroddip_e project aims to contribute to the educational inclusion of children with disabilities (preserved intelligence and physical disabilities (upper-limb)) using ICTs and different methodologies offering easy and viable solutions to overcome the barriers faced by those students and their teachers. For that, the consortium proposed the following three intellectual outputs: Methodology to evaluate disabled students’ capacities for educational devices personalisation (O1), Software to personalise educational devices for disabled students (O2), and Hardware to support devices’ personalisation for disabled students (O3). With these outputs, teachers and professionals working in educational fields will be empowered with a methodology to assess the needs of their children with disabilities and, then, personalise their educational devices to the detected needs. Previous outputs are intrinsically linked to 2 international events and 2 learning activities to empower 30 teachers and disseminate the project results. These 30 teachers will come from the 4 countries of the consortium and will be engaged to be the ambassadors of these tools in their own countries. Consequently, the Euroddip_e project will contribute to enhance the standards of quality in the educational field, promoting the academic success of the children with disabilities and the equal access and opportunities for all, increasing the skills and competences of school teachers.

Final report summary

The Euroddip_e project has contributed to the educational inclusion of children with disabilities (preserved intelligence and physical disabilities (upper limbs)) using ICT and different methodologies (ability detection, personalised software, 3D push-button printing, augmented reality piloting), offering easy and feasible solutions to overcome the barriers faced by students and their teachers. A Partnership has been formed and has proposed three intellectual outputs: Methodology to assess the capabilities of disabled students for the personalisation of educational devices (O1), Software to personalise educational devices for disabled students (O2), and Hardware to support the personalisation of devices for disabled students (O3). In addition, the three intellectual outputs: Methodology for assessing the capabilities of disabled students for the personalisation of educational devices for French speakers inside and outside the European Union (O1). Manuals for the detection of abilities, manuals for the design and realisation of 3D pushbuttons (O1), (O3) and a manual for the elaboration of augmented reality activities (in English and Spanish) have been designed in livebooks (O1 and O3). All the manuals in pdf and livebook are available on the web and in the software (https://euroddip-e-toolkit.eu/) for free download (O2). There have been 12 online meetings, 2 learning activities (Spain and Portugal) and 2 multiplier events (Spain and Belgium). The teachers who attended the events expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the results presented and showed great interest in their use and dissemination. An ERASMUSDAY 2020, aimed at future education professionals, such as students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Burgos, has been carried out. Therefore, the Euroddip_e project contributes to improve quality standards in the educational field, promoting the academic success of students with disabilities and equal access and opportunities for all, increasing the skills and competences of school teachers. Covid-19 has allowed us to make enrichments in the intellectual products (O1,O2,O3) - Expansion to the French-speaking community living inside and outside the EU. - Guidance for teachers for the implementation of augmented reality activities with personalised devices. Manuals for the implementation of augmented reality activities for teachers and implications for students with disabilities. - Access to the resources developed in livebook format.
