[Discovery Series] The Hedera Project: Reading that Fits

Join Ivy Livingston (Department of the Classics) and Bill Barthelmy (Academic Technology for the FAS) for a presentation on the Hedera project. Hedera is an online language learning environment inspired by research on how people acquire language, particularly the role of extensive reading in linguistic development. Hedera gauges the readability of texts based on the words a learner knows in order to identify material that is comprehensible enough to gain the benefits of reading large quantities of level-appropriate material. Once a text is chosen, Hedera provides a reading environment with support personalized for each learner.

Registration for this virtual presentation is available via Zoom. You can learn more about Academic Technology for FAS's partnership with the Department of the Classics on the Hedera project on the AT-FAS website's Hedera page.
