Abstract

Education and technological advances have enabled digital learning technologies to become a key pillar holding up one of the main United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Quality Education. Technology-enhanced learning strategies have led to innovative ICT applications for the development of new improved learning and teaching practices aiding to guarantee inclusive and equitable quality education and promote opportunities for all. Nonetheless, there is still a big challenge to get hold of all the capabilities of these technology-enhanced learning strategies: improving the learner quality of experience (QoE). This paper presents an innovative technology-enhanced learning initiative that aims to attract students to STEM education and improve access for students with disabilities through the analysis of the learner QoE. Moreover, in this paper some of the required standards and specifications to be used for developing this initiative are identified. Another key contribution of the paper is that it explores the necessity of new related standards and introduces some novel proposals for standardization in this area.
