OSRead
Goals
Open Source Reading Education Assessment and Diagnosis (OSRead) is an open source platform for literacy educators and researchers to implement and measure the success of various reading curricula, specifically targeting populations at risk for Dyslexia. This platform allows a researcher to implement a personalized reading curriculum as short games and activities and to assign these activities in order to encourage students to practice their skills without facilitators. OSRead also allows educators to track student performance and progress over time, simplifying their work particularly in following Individualized Education Plans.
Issues Involved or Addressed
OSRead is gamifying reading-focused learning modules that are intended for children with Dyslexia. As part of this work, OSRead is utilizing natural language processing, speech processing, computer vision, user experience design, and user interface design.
