Continuing – design, develop and operate disruptive online educational products for teaching reading and spelling. In 2009, I discovered the exceptional work of Rita Treacy, a Speech & Language Therapist, who specialises in Dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. With the progress of digital convergence (i.e. faster broadband, video podcasting and interactive graphics) we began working together to develop an online version of her literacy programme to make it widely available and affordable. Rita Treacy’s ground-breaking work has been converted into an interactive web application called WordsWorthLearning©. It is a working prototype that is constantly being enhanced to include new features e.g. adaptive learning, gamification and augmented reality.
