Enhancing Inclusive Digital Textbooks with Artificial Intelligence: New Frontiers in Accessibility and Personalisation

Abstract

The European DEM (Digital Educational Material) project represents a significant step forward in the field of inclusive digital education. Through the analysis of existing digital textbooks, a systematic literature review and the development of accessibility guidelines and prototypes, the project aims to improve the effectiveness of digital learning materials. This paper discusses how the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the project extends its potential by refining research tools, enabling advanced personalisation, optimising accessibility features and fostering a more interactive learning experience. Such an approach has the potential to guarantee greater benefits for all students, promoting equal access to quality education.
