Emerging Technologies for Supporting Neurodiverse Learners
Mon, April 25, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Building, Lobby Level, Marriott Grand Ballroom 11Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session will present emerging work from five federally funded research teams developing emerging technologies to support the learning of neurodiverse students. Participants in this symposium will have an opportunity to learn about the development of Virtual Reality (VR), Game-Based Learning (GBL), and other technology enabled solutions supporting STEM learning among this population. These include custom scaffolds, universally designed tools, embodied learning, and a novel guided training approach. The symposium will conclude with an in-depth discussion of the current state of technologies as well as a look towards future trends in the field.
