This study addressed global disparities in AI education through curriculum
internationalisation. Analysing AI educational frameworks across 12
countries on six continents, we identified key barriers: algorithmic
colonialism, culturally homogeneous training data, English-language
dominance, and context-insensitive pedagogies. The study proposed the
Culturally Responsive AI Education (CRAE) framework featuring three
dimensions: pluralistic epistemological foundations integrating diverse
knowledge traditions, localised dataset development, reflecting regional
priorities, and multilingual programming environments, reducing linguistic
barriers. Our 30-month mixed-methods study examined curriculum
documents from 38 institutions, conducted 54 faculty interviews, and
analysed instructional materials, using comparative methods. Implementation
across universities in Nigeria, Brazil, India, and Germany showed enhanced
student engagement and technical mastery through connecting AI concepts to
locally meaningful problems. Results indicated that the CRAE framework
facilitates genuine knowledge exchange between Western and Global South
institutions and has the potential to reshape the global AI development
landscape to address diverse regional priorities. This research contributed to
advancing educational practices that can help democratise AI innovation
while preparing students to work effectively across cultural boundaries in an
increasingly interconnected technological landscape. By fundamentally
reconsidering how AI is taught and applied across diverse cultural contexts,
this study contributed to a more equitable distribution of AI benefits globally.

Abstract
This study focused on the incorporation of multimedia in special needs education, with Kwara State’s School of Special Needs in view. The objectives of the study were to examine the extent of the incorporation, perceived benefits and challenges of the use of multimedia technology in special needs education. Piaget's theory of cognitive development underlined the research work. Semi-structured interview questions were administered to the participants of this study, using a snowball sampling approach, and their responses were analysed thematically. The results showed a high level of multimedia incorporation in special needs education in the case study of this research. However, there are several impediments to its adoption. The study recommended that training and re-training for educators must be prioritised; infrastructure must be improved; and policies should be reviewed to enable a guided use of mobile learning devices and locally multimedia contents.
Keywords: Multimedia, Education, Special needs, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.
