Accessible learning materials, Vietnam

Project description:

Accessible learning materials are designed as digital-based materials and provided for students across Vietnam:

• Images will have the alternative text
• Videos will have the transcripts.
• Documents will be delivered under a grey background.
• Colourful texts and backgrounds will be replaced with an accessible format.

In order to run this project, we will develop a web-based application including accessible learning resources. We will invite partners, such as Vietnamese universities and language centers, to contribute for our learning database. A campaign to raise awareness will be developed for both online and offline.

Goal and purpose of the project:

Project’s goal and purpose is to build up a learning database for Irlen syndrome and dyslexia students at higher education level.
This project brings a chance for those students to access various learning materials in higher education level. The Vietnamese education system hereinafter is improved.

Motivation of the applicant / applicant team:

Dyslexia and Irlen syndrome are not new things in the world but Vietnamese have little knowledge about these. This leads to a problem that people with these syndromes always doubt about their abilities. We want support those people to access information and learn with less barriers as much as possible.

Use of prize money:

Prize money will be used to run the campaign and build up accessible learning database across Vietnam. It is also used to develop application and official website for project.
