Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala's state-run IT@School Project will empower close to two
lakh differently-abled students in computer learning through a
special ICT training programme, an official said Tuesday.
As the first step, the training module for teachers has been
developed using the free software application, GCompris.
Over the years, IT@School Project has enabled Kerala to become the
first state in the country and a role model to other states in
implementing ICT enabled education.
K. Anvar Sadath, executive director, IT@School Project, said here
that the programme for differently abled students includes 119
activities which are incorporated under eight sections.
"The programme comprises various educational activities enabling
the student to learn by seeing, hearing, touching and reading.
These students would be able to learn ICT through this software
irrespective of their physical limitations," said Sadath.
Through this training using customized software, differential
capabilities found in students such as lack of memory, attention
loss and lack of hand-eye coordination could be overcome enabling
the students to learn and develop much better.
"The learning process has been designed in such a way as to
facilitate psychological growth for students playing different
games. The narrations and letters are in Malayalam," said Sadath.
IT@School Project was in the news when it successfully imparted
ICT training to all visually challenged teachers in the state.
This achievement won special appreciation from the Ministry of
Human Resource Development.
