Abstract

The digital transformation has come to be at the forefront of modern-day education reform, but its capacity to bring truly inclusive and accessible learning remains unreliable across the settings. Current studies mostly consider inclusion, accessibility, pedagogy, and governance as parallel or sequential issues and have created disjointed frameworks that cannot explain why differences in inclusive outcomes persist. The innovation of the approach is the inclusion as a structural attribute of the digital learning ecosystem and not as a supplementary feature that is supported by formalized indices and multi-criteria approach to evaluation. Findings indicate that the suggested framework has a Pedagogical Accessibility Index (PAI) of 0.87, which is in contrast to 0.56 in the case of blended and 0.32 in the case of traditional digital instruction.
