Without focusing on accessibility, universities risk further excluding neurodivergent students and reinforcing existing inequities.
“Without focusing on accessibility, universities risk further excluding neurodivergent students and reinforcing existing inequities [82].”
From Burnout by Design: How Digital Systems Overburden Neurodivergent Students in Higher Education (2025) · cites this paper as [82]
The “Why online learning can fail” section says online learning was intended to reach students with disabilities and other historically excluded groups, yet those groups are most likely to drop out. It does not specifically discuss neurodivergent students or establish that a lack of focus on accessibility causes their exclusion. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
