What the paper says
Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the feedback from the teachers participating in the training course, which was delivered within the DI4ALL project and the National Life Skills Program in Lithuania. Design/methodology/approach To evaluate the increase of teachers' competencies and to explore their satisfaction with the training course, a survey method was used (N = 278). To analyse the results of the survey, a statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and content analysis were applied. Findings The research presented and elaborated the key result of the DI4ALL project – a specialized training course, intended to promote digital inclusion at all education stages and increase awareness about modern technologies. The feedback from the training course participants showed significant competency gains among participating teachers, particularly in digital systems, Open Educational Resources (OER), AI, and innovative assessment methods. Nearly two-thirds of participants effectively applied their knowledge in practice, advancing high-quality, flexible online education. Originality/value This study contributed to filling the gap in scientific and practical literature on diversity and digital inclusion in education. It provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of training on digital education, the practical implementation of the DEIA (diversity, equality, inclusion, and accessibility) concept in education, and the broader implications for educational practice in the digital age. Recommendations for similar training in the future are proposed.
