Methods and practices for supporting inclusion using current video-conferencing tools as learning environments: Methods and practices for supporting inclusion

Video-conferencing has changed the way we communicate, collaborate and learn online. However, these digital environments do not come naturally to everyone when it comes to active participation. It can be claimed that the video-conferencing tools are not necessarily designed to support inclusion for everyone and in every context where multiple factors can affect the participation. We propose methods (and practices), such as choosing the appropriate discussion methods that support participation, adopting practices that enable engagement and meaning-making for supporting inclusion in a video-conferencing learning context.
