    Publication . Francisco, Manuela; Filipe, Luís; Cadima, Rita Alexandra Cainço Dias; Sousa, Célia; Mangas, Catarina; Seco, Graça; Alves, Sandra; Coelho, Renato; Sousa, Joana
    The inclusion of people with some kind of limitation or disability in different daily contexts has been one of the mottoes of our modern society, as a result of the changes experienced over the last decades. Education is a clear example of these contexts and institutions must support students with special educational needs (SEN). This support includes physical and digital accessibility, interaction with peers, teachers and staff, adapted contents, Sign Language support, and diverse teaching and evaluation tools and pedagogies. This knowledge and experience existing in educational institutions must be shared within society, promoting awareness about inclusion and increasing the knowledge about concepts and good practices. Enhancing the potential of distance learning and the experience of Polytechnic of Leiria services in the SEN area, 18 short courses were developed in a MOOC format, under the designation of "Inclusion Cycle in 59 minutes and a few seconds”. The main goals of these courses were to sensitize a large number of people to the correct use of terminology, legislation and standards in the SEN and inclusion area; to improve knowledge about different profiles and different strategies for intervention and interaction. Based on the data obtained through LMS analytics, evaluation quizzes, surveys and certificates issued, it was analysed the effectiveness of the format and methodology adopted and the satisfaction of the participants who attended these courses.
  • Shared inclusive reading project: a different way of reading
    Publication . Mangas, Catarina; Sousa, Célia
    The communication intends to present the PLIP – Projeto de Leitura Inclusiva Partilhada, which is a shared inclusive reading project, started in 2013, in the Inclusion & Accessibility in Action Research Center (iACT). This project adapts books in alternative formats such as: braille text; big print; raised/high contrast pictures; audiobook; video book with sign language; pictographic; etc. The multiform at kits are free and available online in digital format, so that everyone can print them (with normal or special equipment – eg. braille printer or relief) or used them directly on computers, tablets or smartphones (through screen readers). The adaptation of original books or books that have been already published in the traditional format, allows more people to have access to literary works, such as the elderly, readers with disabilities, pre-school children, among others. In addition to the development of multiform at kits, the project aims to promote training sessions for those who want to learn how to adapt books and it also supports reading actions that can make adapted stories available for everyone. All inputs are welcome in this dynamic, open and shared project. PLIP is developed in the community, creating links between generations, places, and different areas of knowledge and living. It is considered a network of good practices, giving great visibility to the independent work that has been successfully developed in many different contexts.
