Proud to have co-authored this article in #ComputersAndEducation with a very determined undergrad (now graduated) who didn't give up after 4(!) rounds of peer review. If interested in #culture, #games and #learning, check it out: authors.elsevier.com/c/1daEZ1HucdOR…
And just like that 4.5 years of hard work comes to an end - what an exciting, challenging + inspiring project to be a part of! We have achieved so much working together across many different countries and sectors, thank you all. Hopefully it won't be the end of the iRead story...
Recently, we chatted with Project Manager Panos Papoutsis @Panosonline who described the many hats his worn working on the iRead project. Panos' reflections are captured in our blog you can read here: buff.ly/3heeo5q
We have developed a Linguistic Infrastructure composed of Dictionaries and Language Models as part of iRead’s project to develop personalised learning technologies to support reading skills. Download the white paper on Linguistic Infrastructure here: ireadprojecteu.files.wordpress.com/2021/02/2021_0…
How do children express their opinions about the games they've played? One participant on the iRead pilot from Sweden gave feedback on Navigo using little drawings of duck faces. Read all about it in a recent blog by iRead colleague Leona Bunting. buff.ly/2UitxuR
Big thanks to everyone who attended yesterday's iRead webinar on game-based learning. It was inspiring to hear practitioners and researchers in dialogue about how games may support children's reading skills. Let's keep this important discussion going! @avasalou @ljbenton
Join us tomorrow 22 June at 5pm for our special end-of-project event 'Children’s learning in digital games – The theory and the practice'. More information and register: buff.ly/2Re2jUL #ireadgames
As this could possibly be the last tweet for iRead from Gothenburg, we would like to thank everybody for these incredibly interesting 4.5 years- what a ride! Please, please, please let's not lose touch!
UCLKL colleagues @ljbenton @serayibrahim & @minnanygren are organising a virtual workshop titled: 'How to best support children's participation in research? Considerations, strategies, and resources for ethics and consent' 8 July, 10-12pm. More info below -->
New blog post from our iRead team member @LeonaBunting about developing a questionnaire to capture children's reflections about the Navigo game in Sweden. Keep a lookout for the tiny smiley duck faces! buff.ly/2UitxuR
#tbt to a few years back when the tablets started arriving.
"Learning to read is challenging, even for witches and wizards." In our new iRead blog set in Hogwarts, @AndreaDGauthier describes the development of interactive dashboards for teachers to help them follow children's progress in reading games. buff.ly/3xsWuCt
Schools are closing for summer here in Sweden and this means that we are picking up the last of our tablets and saying goodbye to the all wonderful teachers and students who have participated in the project. A sincere thank you- it's been a joy!
We are getting ready for our next week's very special event 'Children’s learning in digital games – The theory and the practice' Tues 22 June at 5pm. @ljbenton and @avasalou will lead us through iRead discoveries and discussions. Sign-up here: buff.ly/2Re2jUL #ireadgames
