Actualmente, cada vez son más las instituciones de Educación Superior que están implementando diversos recursos tecnológicos dentro de sus aulas. Estos permiten crear entornos de aprendizaje que superan las barreras físicas y amplían las oportunidades de participación académica y social. Partiendo de esta premisa, el objetivo del estudio es analizar cómo contribuyen los recursos tecnológicos emergentes en el desarrollo de prácticas docentes inclusivas. Siguiendo los principios de la metodología cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas a 11 estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad, provenientes de seis universidades andaluzas (España). Para el tratamiento de los datos, se analizó el contenido de las entrevistas en función de distintos códigos y categorías creados previamente de forma inductiva. Entre los resultados destaca el diseño de prácticas educativas apoyado en los recursos tecnológicos, dando lugar a la optimización de los aprendizajes de los estudiantes y, por tanto, de sus experiencias académicas. Sin embargo, se identifican barreras académicas en su implementación. Las conclusiones ilustran que los recursos tecnológicos se deben implementar de manera accesible e inclusiva, asegurando así que todas las personas, independientemente de sus necesidades individuales, tengan la oportunidad de participar de manera plena en el ámbito universitario y ajustado a sus necesidades
