NAVIGATING INCLUSIVE PEDAGOGY IN CONTEMPORARY DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

In digital pedagogy, inclusivity is the process of developing and providing online educational programs that actively address the various needs of all students with disabilities, learning styles, diversity of cultural backgrounds, and those from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. This is accomplished by utilizing the adaptability and usability features of digital tools to guarantee that all students can participate completely and successfully interact with the course material. India's educational landscape is undergoing a radical change as a result of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The incorporation of technology in education to enable remote learning is a key component of this policy. This chapter provides a somewhat thorough study of NEP 2020, paying special attention to the difficulties and impediments related to the adoption of inclusive education in India, posing a serious threat to the drive to mainstream the disadvantaged ones.
