The term Inclusive Online Education has generated great interest within and across educational levels and contexts, yet practical applications of it remain elusive in many institutional settings. Chapters in this book highlight define and interrogate definitions of inclusion. The research studies reported here focus on moving the conversation about inclusive online education away from individual accommodations for which students must qualify, to models where learning experiences are designed for the success of all students and teachers—both technically and relationally.

While some authors do mention the need to know and understand the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the authors in these chapters go beyond UDL to include understandings about historical challenges with inclusive education, emerging understandings about designing strong online instruction, and how placed-based thinking and social settings provide resources from which to draw in creating online learning environments and experiences that are not only humanized but humane. This book highlights research focused on moving the conversation about inclusion away from individual accommodations for which students must qualify to models where learning experiences are designed to address historical inequities and promote success for all students and teachers. Collectively, the chapters underscore the need to choose materials, design assessments, plan instruction, and engage with students in accordance with relational commitments to equity.

Inclusive Online and Distance Education for Learners with Dis/abilities will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Education, Education Policy, Educational Research, and Disability Studies in Education. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of Distance Education.

This edited volume explores the emotional work of being an online teacher educator. The chapter authors discuss the intense work involved in planning, teaching, and navigating intuitional contexts in order to build a relationship between online teaching and the Self-Study of Teacher Educator Practice (S-STEP) methodology. Additionally, the authors of the chapters in the book used the S-STEP methodology to move their practices and their teacher-educator identities beyond emergency/crisis uses of online teaching common during campus building closures.

Each chapter offers different ways that S-STEP methodology can be used to sustain oneself as an online teacher educator. Although there are specific strategies and practices, this is not a ‘how-to’ book for online teacher educating—it is an exploration of online teachers and groups of online teachers supporting themselves and each other by studying and learning from their practices.
