When the Rubber Meets the Road: Lessons from the In-School Adventures of an Automated Reading Tutor that Listens
Authors:
Abstract:
Project LISTEN's Reading Tutor (www.cs.cmu.edu/~listen) uses automatic speech recognition to listen to children read aloud, and helps them learn to read. Its experimental deployment in schools has expanded from a single computer used by eight third graders in one school in 1996 to two hundred computers used by children in grades 1-3 in nine schools in 2003. This project illustrates how technology can not just scale up an intervention, but instrument its implementation. For example, analysis of 2002-2003 usage showed that session frequency and duration averaged significantly higher in lab settings than in classrooms.
