Digital literacy course learning platform with augmented reality for inclusive learning

The article is devoted to the study of the potential of augmented reality (AR) technologies in inclusive education aimed at teaching children with special educational needs (SEN) the course “Digital Literacy”. The authors analyze existing AR platforms, identifying their limitations in adaptation for students with hearing impairments, mental retardation, musculoskeletal disorders and speech disorders. Based on the conducted research, a prototype of a specialized educational platform with AR functionality was developed, including an adaptive interface, multimodal elements (audio description, tactile markers) and personalized content. Experimental testing of the platform with the participation of 16 primary school students with SEN showed a significant improvement in the assimilation of material (by 38%), increased motivation (85%) and an increase in the attention span. However, technical difficulties were identified (in 28% of users) and the need for further adaptation of content for the visually impaired. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of AR technologies in creating an inclusive educational environment and offer practical recommendations for their implementation, including interface optimization, integration with LMS and development of teaching materials for teachers.
