The Ed-ICT International network has been funded by the Leverhulme Trust and spans the UK, Canada, US, Germany and the US. Itâs aim has been to explore the role that ICTsâincluding computers, mobile devices, assistive technologies, online learning, and social networking sitesâplay or could play in creating barriers and mitigating disadvantages that students with disabilities in post-compulsory education experience both generally and specifically in relation to social, emotional and educational outcomes. The network has also examined how practices of educators and other stakeholders can craft successful and supportive relationships between learners with disabilities and ICT. This event is the final symposium, following international events in Seattle, Montreal, Tel Aviv and Hagen.
