Participation in Digital Education: Results of the educational study of the Genossenschaft der Werksta¨tten fu¨r behinderte Menschen in Norddeutschland e. G., (Germany)

Digital education offers support the equal participation of people with disabilities in lifelong learning. They thus provide access for independent living and participation in all areas of life and are highlighted as a central factor of successful inclusion. In order to give people with impairment the opportunity to participate in digital education, the educational and qualification needs of people with impairment in 10 member institutions of the Cooperative of Workshops for Disabled People in Northern Germany e.G. were recorded in 2016 - 2018. In this volume, existing analyses on the educational needs of people with impairments and existing educational offers are evaluated and more than 500 people with impairments are interviewed. On the basis of this study, needs-oriented digital educational offers are created in a targeted manner.
