Abstract

Drawing on Digital Humanism as an ethical foundation for action, this chapter explores the best practices for using digital technologies in making business education more inclusive. The theoretical approach toward inclusive education presented in the chapter is supplemented by insights from ten years of field experience in continuous professional development work. Digital Humanism, an approach that embraces technology and humanistic values, suggests that utilization of digital technologies should be focused on supporting humans to overcome societal, economic and environmental challenges and to become better members of society. To foster social inclusion, Digital Humanism is applied to real-life education, guided by the European Union’s framework for Digital Competences for Educators (DigCompEdu). The discussion on Digital Humanism principles and examples of its application in a specific context provides educators residing anywhere in the world with an ethical pedagogical approach for digitalization in education and a selection of practical actions based on Digital Humanism that have the potential to raise inclusivity in business education. Educators are invited to reflect on their role as influencers and as role models for adopting social sustainability in organizations through inclusive use of digital technologies. Applying Digital Humanism for developing inclusive business education supports the implementation of SDG 4 (Quality education) and SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities).
