Abstract

This chapter dives into how we can use technology to make assessments more inclusive, catering to the diverse needs of all learners. By reviewing various studies, it looks at what helps and what hinders the use of tech-driven assessments in different educational settings. The findings show that digital tools can significantly improve fairness, accessibility, and personalization in assessments. However, there are challenges like the digital divide, lack of proper teacher training, and resistance to change. The chapter also highlights the importance of teaching strategies like Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and adaptive learning systems to promote inclusivity. Practical suggestions include boosting digital literacy among teachers, ensuring everyone has access to the necessary infrastructure, and embedding inclusive principles into tech adoption policies. This chapter offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers who want to use technology to create fairer and more inclusive assessment practices.
