Digital4All – Building the capacity of universities to develop digital strategies to serve all learners aims at strengthening universities’ readiness, faculty and staff’s skills in supporting all learners to equally participate in digital learning experiences.
The project will support higher education institutions in offering digital learning experiences that are inclusive and equitable for all, through appropriate strategies and practices.
The project aligns and supports initiatives such as the European Education Area’s strategic framework to offer equitable education in the digital era as well as the European Disability Rights Agenda 2021-2030 that directs toward actions that promote access to all environments, including the digital ones, and a quality, inclusive education, and lifelong learning.
