Publication of the Compendium, "Insights From the Science of Learning for Education"
The compendium "Insights From the Science of Learning for Education" is a compilation of research findings related to the implementation of science and technology in education around the world.
In particular, Chapter 7 ("AI to the Rescue: Helping Children at Risk for Dyselxia Surmount Educational Barriers") by Prof. Tong highlights the importance of incorporating AI and educational technology into early screening and intervention for dyslexia. Embracing this direction has important implications for reducing the global disparities in providing timely diagnoses and treatment for dyslexia, helping dyslexic individuals reach their full potential.
