PL

W niniejszym artykule podjęto problem rozwoju technologii uczenia się dla osób z lekką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną, opisany w teoretycznych ramach społeczeństwa sieciowego. Badania koncentrują się na zagadnieniu technologii uczenia się dla osób z lekką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. Przeprowadzona analiza jest ugruntowana w tezach społeczeństwa sieciowego. Cele wstępne dotyczyły trzech głównych zagadnień: analizy zagrożeń wykluczeniem cyfrowym osób z lekką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną w wysoko rozwiniętych technologicznie społeczeństwach; konceptualnego spojrzenia na technologie uczenia się jako narzędzi wspierających integrację społeczną; oraz znaczenia dostępnych środowisk e-learningowych dla wspierania e-edukacji włączającej osób z lekką niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. Autorki zastosowały metodę analityczno-opisową na podstawie wybranych źródeł literaturowych, aby nakreślić konceptualny pogląd na funkcje technologii uczenia się w społeczeństwie sieciowym. Artykuł ma następującą strukturę: wprowadzenie; analiza teoretycznych podstaw społeczeństwa sieciowego; przegląd technologii uczenia się dla włączającej e-edukacji dla osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem cyfrowym, wnioski badawcze i kierunki przyszłych badań.

The research focuses on the issue of learning technologies for people with mild intellectual disabilities. The analysis carried out is grounded in the theses of the network society. The initial objectives addressed three main issues: analysis of risks of digital exclusion of people with mild intellectual disabilities in highly technological developed societies; a conceptual view of learning technologies as tools to support social inclusion; and the importance of creating accessible e-learning environments to support inclusive e-education for people with mild intellectual disabilities. The authors used the analytical and descriptive method on the basis of the chosen literature sources to draw the conceptual view of functions of learning technologies in network society. The paper is structured as follows: introduction; analysis of theoretical background of network society to understand the need to go beyond technology to understand contemporary digital disparities; the overview of learning technologies for inclusive e-education for individuals at risk of digital exclusion, the research conclusions and directions for future research.
