Abstract
Games and game-based approaches to education have become a part of most online and offline learning. They are thought to engage students and facilitate effective learning. These technologies, nonetheless, are often inaccessible to people with disabilities such as learning, auditory, visual, or cognitive impairments. In this paper, I ask: what is the state of the art of academic research on accessibility of game-based education to people with disabilities? What needs research and development to make sure no student is left behind? This literature study of research published between 2016 and 2020 (66 manuscripts) shows that researchers are directing relatively less attention towards motor and auditory accessibility. Research investigating the use of accessible solutions by people with and without disabilities simultaneously, in the same setting is needed. Emerging technology, such as AR & VR need attention and the range of stakeholders involved in this research needs expansion.
