ACCESSIBILITY AND INCLUSIVITY IN BLENDED LEARNING: A PATHWAY TO INCLUSIVE CLASSROOMS IN INDIAN EDUCATION

Abstract

This study examines the accessibility and inclusivity of blended learning models in higher education within India especially in reference of inclusive classrooms. By combining traditional in-person instruction with online learning platforms, the research reveals how this approach has transformed the educational landscape. Blended learning offers significant advantages, such as increased flexibility, personalized learning experiences, and improved access to educational resources for students with diverse needs (SWDN), including those with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, or those from underserved backgrounds. This flexibility is essential for developing inclusive classrooms that accommodate various learning styles and needs.
