Education has undergone a significant shift, moving away from an elitist and exclusive mindset that was rooted in power and privilege claims towards a more democratic and inclusive perspective that is based on justice and human rights. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become crucial for Educational Institutions to implement support mechanisms to assist students in adapting to schools, colleges, and universities. A better understanding of how students operate and learn is essential in designing these support systems.

This book presents a collection of research studies that explore how inclusive online teaching and assessment practices have been implemented worldwide in response to the COVID-19 crisis. These practices have been tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by educators and students during this period of transition. The book aims to provide practical suggestions to educators who are seeking to employ new inclusive approaches to help their students overcome the difficulties they encounter due to the new hybrid learning approach.

Recommendations for training educators and students in new inclusive online teaching and assessment practices are provided, along with guidelines for successful implementation in various courses. Additionally, suggestions for future research in this field are offered to further enhance our understanding of inclusive education in the digital age.

By embracing the principles of justice and human rights, education can become more accessible, equitable, and relevant to all learners, regardless of their background or circumstances. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented us with an opportunity to reimagine education and create a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.
