GraphoGame

We have noted in several research projects in the Global West, where boy literacy is falling, that GraphoGame is exceptionally effective with boys who have not attained reading skills by 1st grade. This is likely due to gamification and game-based learning.

The app's adaptive game design ensures all users are exposed to content they are comfortable with. This ensures that marginalized students do not get demotivated or embarrassed by their level of progress compared to other students. Furthermore, GraphoGame has been designed for students coming from immigrant or non-native speaking backgrounds. For example, we research the effectiveness of our English GraphoGame with students with no background in English at all. The game also originates from neuropsychology research that focused on making the game effective with neurodivergences, namely dyslexia and autism.

GraphoGame employs adaptive learning technology that adjusts to the user's skill level, ensuring that each child receives personalized learning experiences. This feature helps in catering to diverse learning needs and paces, making it accessible to children with varying literacy skills. The game is designed following the principles of Universal Design for Learning, ensuring that it is accessible to all children, including those with learning disabilities. By providing multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression, GraphoGame supports a wide range of learners. GraphoGame offers support in multiple languages, allowing children from different linguistic backgrounds to access the game in their native language. This linguistic inclusivity helps in promoting equity in learning opportunities for children worldwide. The content in GraphoGame is designed to be culturally relevant and sensitive, ensuring that it resonates with children from diverse cultural backgrounds. This approach helps in creating an inclusive learning environment where all children feel represented and valued. GraphoGame incorporates various accessibility features such as audio support, visual aids, and user-friendly interfaces to assist children with visual or auditory impairments. These features ensure that the game is inclusive of children with different types of disabilities. The game is developed with a commitment to non-discriminatory practices, ensuring that no child is excluded based on race, gender, socio-economic status, or any other characteristic. GraphoGame aims to provide equal learning opportunities for all children. GraphoGame continuously gathers feedback from users and educators to improve its inclusivity and equity features. This iterative process helps in addressing the evolving needs of diverse learners and making the game more effective and inclusive over time. By adhering to these principles, GraphoGame ensures that it provides an inclusive and equitable learning experience for all children, helping them to develop their literacy skills in a supportive and adaptive environment.

GraphoGame utilises AI to create personalised learning paths for each user based on their individual progress and performance. This approach ensures that every child, regardless of their starting point, receives a customised educational experience tailored to their unique needs and abilities. The AI algorithms in GraphoGame are designed and regularly reviewed to minimise bias. This includes ensuring that the data used to train the AI is diverse and representative of all user demographics. By actively working to reduce biases, GraphoGame promotes fairness and equity in the learning process. The AI in GraphoGame continuously monitors and adapts the difficulty level of the game in real-time. This ensures that all children, including those with learning disabilities or those who may struggle with traditional learning methods, are provided with an equitable learning experience that matches their pace and comprehension. GraphoGame incorporates feedback loops where users and educators can provide insights and feedback on their experience with the AI. This feedback is used to refine and improve the AI algorithms, ensuring they remain fair, effective, and inclusive over time. The development and deployment of AI in GraphoGame are conducted with a high level of transparency. Users and educators are informed about how AI is used within the game, and there are mechanisms in place to hold the developers accountable for the AI's performance and fairness. GraphoGame is committed to ongoing research and development to enhance AI equity. This includes collaborating with experts in AI ethics, inclusivity, and educational technology to continuously improve the AI's fairness and effectiveness.
