Abstract: Socioeconomic Inclusion During an Era of Online Education aims to answer emerging questions on inclusive online education by exploring and collating the experiences and lessons learned during the implementation of emergency remote education. With the earlier than expected arrival of the online education era, best practices and innovative approaches from various educational institutions are concrete paradigms for safeguarding the promise of an undivided future of learning through equal access to quality education from a distance. Covering topics from learning space to education governance, this reference work is ideal for policymakers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, scholars, instructors, and students seeking to adjust and adapt to teaching and learning online not only during a pandemic (i.e., emergency remote education) but also during “normal times”. As much as this book raises socioeconomic issues involving online education as the primary mode of teaching and learning, a theme as diverse and expansive as inclusivity and technology-based instruction restricts the opportunity of addressing the multiplicity of viewpoints across various spectrums. Therefore, the anthology of these chapters is consequently and intentionally diverse and echoes the mission of inclusive education by compiling a variety of perspectives, experiences, traditions, and frameworks.
