LITERACY · ONLINE PORTAL FOR E-LEARNING AND SUPPORTING SOCIAL INCLUSION OF PEOPLE WITH DYSLEXIA

The objective of the LITERACY project is to create an advanced online portal, which will aid both dyslexic youths and adults. The Portal will provide personalized e-learning programs, useful tools and methods for helping people with dyslexia to improve their abilities in reading, writing and then function in society. The Portal will also provide entry to an accessible online community of peers. Employing novel modelling algorithms the system will assess the users' level of literacy and particular strengths/weaknesses in learning. It will on this basis automatically adjust to provide the required personalized services for that specific user. A specialized interface and Community Zone with programs and services will improve users' skills, drastically simplifying otherwise complicated tasks. This will be done by utilizing advanced novel tools which will be integrated with both existing and adapted ICT tools and hardware. Dyslexic users will be able to access this portal independently and receive real-time feedback on their progress. The Portal will be based on input of content by educational professionals in both EU and Associate countries, providing an array of levels and in several languages.The Portal will empower and support dyslexic youth and adults to help themselves succeed in literacy related achievements, ultimately strengthening their success and inclusion in school, university, work and their social lives.
