The Impact of an Augmented Reality Tool on Students with Dyscalculia in Learning Multiplication Concepts

Posted on by

Augmented reality has emerged as an assistive technology recently, contributing to various fields, especially education. In particular, it offers potential benefits for students with learning difficulties. Students with dyscalculia, for example, face significant difficulties that hinder their academic performance. To address these difficulties, we designed and developed an educational tool based on augmented reality and evaluated its effectiveness on student performance and satisfaction.

The case for structured word inquiry

Posted on by

The term neurodivergent describes people whose brains work differently from what is considered typical. This includes children with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, dyscalculia and other learning differences. Neurodivergence is not about being less capable. It simply means a child learns in ways that diverge from the majority. Yet when classrooms are built around only one “standard” way of learning, many children — neurodivergent or not — end up feeling broken by a system that does not work for them.

At the Bermuda Centre for Creative Learning, we know there is another way. Structured word inquiry offers an inclusive approach that benefits every learner. Instead of asking children to memorise and drill, SWI invites them to investigate words like scientists. Why is this word spelt this way? What meaning does it carry? How is it connected to other words? Suddenly, spelling is no longer about arbitrary rules — it becomes a logical system with patterns and connections that make sense.

Student shines thanks to accessibility support she receives at CSU

When Kennedy Reister was very young, doctors thought she might be blind or deaf.

Eventually, she was diagnosed with conditions that doctors said would keep her from going to college. They said she’d be lucky to finish high school and might be capable of a career in cosmetology.

But the Littleton native made it to Colorado State University, where she is excelling thanks to the accessibility resources and support that the university provides.

At age 4, Reister’s parents learned that she had dyscalculia, an inability to do basic math; dysgraphia, which limits her handwriting ability; and dyslexia. From fifth through eighth grade, she attended Denver Academy, a school that is well known for providing a specialized education to those with disabilities.

“That was the best thing that ever happened to me,” Reister said.
