Abstract

In an era of rapid digital transformation, the need for an inclusive online learning platform that effectively addresses the challenges faced by differently abled students remains a critical concern. Traditional teaching methods often lack accessibility, making it imperative to integrate advanced technologies that enhance learning experiences for students with disabilities. Many modern platforms now leverage Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques, incorporating features such as speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and adaptive learning tools to bridge the accessibility gap. Enable-Ed is a multi-sensory learning platform designed for individuals with disabilities. By integrating audio, visual, and sign language features, the platform helps students with various learning needs, including those with visual and auditory impairments. Enable-Ed promotes self-learning, empowering students to receive assistance based on their specific requirements. The platform promotes an educational experience that adapts to different individual learning styles. A key feature of Enable-Ed is that it provides sign language translation, which significantly improves communication and learning opportunities for individuals with hearing and speech impairments. Through innovative technologies, Enable-Ed addresses the accessibility gap in redefining the architecture of digital education. Our project tends to provide next-generation learning, and it identifies best practice and technological advancements toward ensuring equal opportunities of access to education for all.
