According to a survey conducted by the European University Association in September 2020, 95% of Higher Education Institutions opted for distance learning during COVID pandemic. This has led to new challenges for higher education institutions that have had to re-adapt and re-design their teaching programmes to include digital tools and to increase their capacity to engage with students in order to offer valuable online content. However, the provision of high quality digital learning materials in an effective and engaging way will only happen if the whole digital education experience is inclusive, accessible and easy to understand and use for all students, regardless of their abilities, digital readiness and cultural background.
