| Popis: | The global rapid growth of technology comes with tools that address learner diversity and inclusivity. However, research on special needs education is at an infancy stage. Set against the backdrop of Eswatini, this chapter explores alternatives for reshaping traditional education in order to accommodate the learners with special needs. The authors’ concern is on the adult learners with special needs who join the learning environment with multiple and diverse learning needs. However, the traditional education is ill-prepared to fully cater for learners with special education needs. The authors applaud the intense aggression of technology in re-imaging the traditional education provision. Assistive technologies such as Envision Artificial Intelligence (Envision AI) compliments traditional teaching for visually impaired learners. Paucity of literature on Envision AI misinforms education policy and decision-making. The findings harvested from this chapter could benefit education policy makers in addressing the diversity and inclusion of special needs education. |
