Inclusive education in higher education: experience report of the Ledor Amigo extension project in remote education

Abstract

This work consists of an experience report of the Ledor Amigo extension project developed at a federal public university during the quarantine by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project conceived in 2018 was adapted, starting to act in the three dimensions: student training, attention to students with visual impairment, and dissemination of content on inclusive education, and results achieved in the project. It was based on the intervention research that best fits the criteria of classification of projects as an extension, also contributing to the relationship between teaching, research, and extension. It had the participation of ten students, nine scholarship holders, and one volunteer who originated in several undergraduate courses. There is still a long way for inclusive education to be a reality, however, in the remote period, some skills have been strengthened through the use of accessible educational and digital technologies.
