Published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Educational Technology in February 2024, the publication "From Digital Divide to Digital Inclusion. Challenges, Perspectives and Trends in the Development of Digital Competences", co-edited by Dr. Łukasz Tomczyk from the Institute of Pedagogy at the Jagiellonian University and the other editors: Francisco D. Guillén-Gámez, Julio Ruiz-Palmero and Akhmad Habibi.

This book offers an expert perspective on two key phenomena in the development of the information society, namely digital inclusion and digital exclusion. Despite the intensive digitalization of various areas in human activity, the lack of proper information and communications technology (ICT) literacy, the lack of access to high-speed Internet, and the still unsatisfactory level of e-services are a reality in many regions and countries. This edited book presents a unique overview of research related to the dynamics of digital exclusion and the development of digital competences, as well as an analysis of the most effective educational solutions to foster the digital inclusion of disadvantaged groups.

This book is particularly useful for educators dealing with the topic of digital exclusion and inclusion and who are looking for knowledge on enhancing digital competences in disadvantaged groups. It is also helpful for social policy makers involved in designing solutions to minimize various forms of digital exclusion. Finally, this book serves as a reference for academics and students from the disciplines of pedagogy, social policy, new media psychology, media sociology, and cultural anthropology.

The book was published as part of the 'Lecture Notes in Educational Technology' series, which is listed in Scopus Q2. It is the result of the REMEDIS project and fills a gap related to the analysis of digital exclusion in the last two decades in 24 countries.
