ABSTRACT

Students in many countries during COVID-19 pandemic, moved through a deep change in their school experience, moving from face-to-face teaching in schools to distance learning. The distance learning has represented an opportunity to develop strategies and resources to guarantee continuity in the learning experience. However, the recent literature has highlighted also several factors that negatively affected learning outcome of students, underlined in particular more negative effects on students in conditions of fragility. This work has the objective to analyse problems emerged during DL and reflect on possible solutions, by considering the analysis of data obtained from recent national and international literature. The article proposes a critical reflection to rethink digital learning environments in the post-pandemic era in order to support learning path of all students and promote inclusion and participation also of those in condition of vulnerability. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
