Abstract

Education is a prime context for preventing social exclusion and providing people with special needs with opportunities for active participation in all spheres of life. A major objective of the school system is to ensure the participation of all students in the processes of learning and skills acquisition. This paper presents a pilot study concerning the design and classroom testing of learning plans based on the use of multimedia technologies developed for full inclusion of people with special needs. The learning plans are the result of collaborative efforts involving both curricular and special education teachers, who were supported by a web-based environment called AESSEDI; this represented scaffolding by providing a series of indicators supporting reflection on inclusion issues.
