Evaluations of the LODE Temporal Reasoning Tool with Hearing and Deaf Children

چکیده
LODE is a web tool for children that are novice readers, and is primarily meant for deaf children. It proposes written stories and interactive games for reasoning, globally, on the stories. In this paper, first, we motivate the rationale of LODE, and explain its reasoning games. Then we briefly describe the design of the web client-server architecture of LODE; the server employs a constraint programming system for creating and solving the LODE games in real time. Finally, we concentrate on two evaluations of the latest prototype of LODE: one with hearing novice readers; another one with deaf readers. We conclude by discussing the results of the evaluations, and their implications for LODE.

LODE is a logic-based web tool for Italian deaf children. It aims at stimulating global reasoning on e-stories written in a verbal language. Presently, we are focusing on temporal reasoning, that is, LODE stimulates children to reason with global temporal relations between events possibly distant in a story. This is done through apt exercises and with the support of a constraint programming sys...
متن کاملLODE : Global Reasoning on E-Stories for Deaf Children
Due to a limited exposition to the language in its spoken form in their first years of life, deaf children lack the primary means of acquiring literacy skills. In this paper, we present LODE, a web-based interactive tool for the literacy of Italian deaf children. LODE proposes written e-stories and elicits children to globally reason on them through interactive exercises, developed with the sup...
