A Black Swan in a Sea of White Noise: Using Technology-Enhanced Learning to Afford Educational Inclusivity for Learners with Asperger’s Syndrome

Abstract: Against a backdrop of increasingly vocation-focussed course provision within higher education, of widening participation initiatives intended to promote greater inclusion for learners affected by learning difficulties, and of moves towards greater use of social and collaborative forms of learning, this paper discusses the case of an undergraduate Computing student affected by Asperger’s Syndrome (AS).While there is recognition in the literature of problems associated with face-to-face dialogue for persons affe… Show more

“…Meyers and Bagnall (2015) noted that their case study engaged in the university learning management system, the library, Google advanced search, and email, but did not use the discussion boards or forums. In contrast to these findings, McDowell (2015) noted that his case study was uncomfortable and withdrawn during the face-to-face learning observations, but when online, he was able to interact with his peers in the discussion boards.…”

“…Eine Handlungsempfehlung zur weiterführenden Forschung bezüglich der partizipativen Technikentwicklung in jugendbezogenen Behinderten-und Erziehungseinrichtungen wird durch die kategoriale Darstellung und Diskussion der Artikel sichtbar: Es finden sich Artikel zum partizipativen Forschen mit vulnerablen Menschen (Borch und Strandbakken 2019;Rix et al 2019;Tran und Brodersen 2019;Daniel 2018), jedoch beziehen sich lediglich Borch und Strandbakken (2019) auf partizipative Technikentwicklung. Assistive Technologien werden bislang vor allem im schulischen Kontext, aber weniger im stationären Setting erforscht (Nordström et al 2019;Nepo 2017;McDowell 2015;Passey 2015). Der Diskurs zu digitalen Unterstützungssystemen in der stationären Erziehungshilfe ist wenig ausgeprägt.…”

“…Der Bedarf an Forschung bestätigt sich ebenfalls durch Artikel der Kategorie 2 Assistenztechnologien : In Bezug auf innovative Prozesse in der Implementierung dieser Technologien wird die Notwendigkeit auf anschließende Forschung deutlich (Taherian und Davies 2017 ; McDowell 2015 ; Passey 2015 ). Die Publikationen vereinen die dringliche Empfehlung, weiter an der Technikentwicklung zu forschen.…”

“…These skills are already requirements of some university-level CS courses. McDowell (2015), for example, states that "one objective of the computer games degree courses is to prepare learners to enter the games industry, and it is a stated requirement of the programme specification that students should work in small teams to develop a range of computer games" (p.8). Industries and institutions are increasingly engaging and employing learning technologists with CS skills to support their own individual local needs, to develop computing facilities that meet their specific requirements.…”
