The accessing changes in the world order provoke fields such as education, work, and in general human lives. The pandemic caused by the spread of Covid-19 affected an extremely large part of the Earth, including the Republic of Bulgaria. Pupils and students had to switch to distance learning, being more precise go-to distance learning in an electronic environment. This was unexpected for us all - parents, students, and especially teachers. The teachers are the ones who have extremely difficult task of dealing in a very short time with the selection of (and possibly acquaintance with) appropriate software, as well as to master information and communication technologies, in most cases, and they may have never been trained in. This situation also provoked the study, which found a place in this report. It was targeted at the very beginning of the forced isolation, including the closure of educational institutions, in the Republic of Bulgaria - in the period from March 18 to April 10, 2020. A logical choice in this state of emergency was the way of conducting it - an electronic survey.

The article substantiates the relevance of the problem of using information and communication technologies (ICT) to partially solve the problem of accessibility to education for certain categories of people with disabilities and improving the quality of educational services. Theneed for introducing open access repositories with educational and scientific content is emphasized, which will allow alternative ways of gaining knowledge despite time or space constraints. The advantages and disadvantages of using ICT in the inclusive process are outlined, and their main types are proposed which can be used to support inclusive education. The features of creating an effective computer-integrated learning environment in the inclusive process are identified, forms and methods of working with children with special needs using ICT are presented. The authors display the results of a survey of teachers regarding their attitude to this problem and their professional skills in using ICT in the educational process of a general secondary educational institution. The article focuses on the necessity to study and promote assistive technologies in inclusive learning, which are developed today in the world to enable people with disabilities to get education and their social integration. These technologies give people the opportunity to learn effectively, receive new information, communicate through devices to control computer equipment, including remotely; reading electrical signals, etc. The difficulties of implementing ICT in inclusive education of Ukraine are substantiated, among them: high cost of ICT, especially assistive technologies; lack of computer software at educational institutions, lack of powerful internet, especially in rural areas; low level of digital literacy of teachers, especially regarding the use of special training tools; often their conservative attitude to innovations, online communication with students with special educational needs; the lack of support for such students as for the use of specialized ICTs and others.

Open And Distance Learning

Recent explosion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the developed countries offers tremendous opportunities for electronic delivery of course materials for open and distance learners. In spite of some socio-economic constraints, ICTs are expanding fastly in the developing countries and thus offer a new scope for the promotion of open and distance learning. Bangladesh is recently connected to the information super-highway through submarine cables, which will add a new spin in the expansion of the Internet and other ICTs. More than 10 million mobile phone users throughout the country reflect the real phenomenon of quick acceptance of the modern ICTs by the people. However, the only distance teaching public university, Bangladesh Open University (BOU) is still far behind of using modern ICTs for delivering her course materials to the distance learners. Considering the rapid expansion of computer and internet after 1998s, it is now appropriate time to consider inclusion of some interactive ICTs i.e. e-learning in delivering course materials of BOU and other academic institutes to promote distance education in Bangladesh. In this paper, we discuss the current situation and future prospects of ICTs in Bangladesh for the expansion of open and distance education. Key words: ICTs, ODL, mobile learning.
