Initiative for Dyslexia Augmented Reality Campaign Awareness

    Description
    Description
    This initiative are designed with the aim to assist the development of the levels of Dyslexia through the innovation of the Augmented Reality (AR), for in the learning institutes in Malaysia as an effort to disseminate empathy and awareness to the learning difficulties and challenges, that aims to transform these definitions into learning differences.
    The objectives are: 1. To clearly define the dyslexia condition which afflicted of learning students among parents and educators in education sectors in Malaysia. 2. To create awareness among Malaysian in the importance of learning challenges and key influence on changes for education methodology of education.
    Expected Impact

    1. Development of the visual narratives of dyslexia through graphic novel and short stories (3 months)<br />
    2. Development of the application to accommodate the formation of the book. (3 months)<br />
    3. Disseminate the awareness through actual on-the-ground campaigns. Workshops, seminars, and gamifications occurs in the process (1-year)

    Governed

    1. The UCSI University through the De Institute of Creative Arts & Design (ICAD), is the educational institution who provide the expertise in innovating the application of the visual illustration into the levels of dyslexia (entitled as BOOX) and promoting the empathetic awareness to the parents and educators in the difficulties that students are facing dyslexia.<br />
    <br />
    ICAD acted as the main initiator responsible in conducting the initiatives, together with Universitas Multimedia Nusantara of Indonesia (UMN), the Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia, the Elite Tutors Indonesia, and the Idrissi International Islamic School. <br />
    <br />
    2. The Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia (PDM), and the Elite Tutors of Jakarta Indonesia (DSI) will provide data and information regarding to the dyslexia afflicted conditions that is the current challenges faced not only by the students, but to the stakeholders such as educators and the afflicted parents. <br />
    <br />
    DSI&#39;s and the PDM data shows that the cases of dyslexia afflicted learners are often left unattended and unsupported to their learning difficulties. Delayed treatment will develop much more severe learning conditions which the learners will face difficulties in calculation and coordinations. Hence the crucial efforts must be done in order to raise the awareness of the learning difficulties through the recognition in the types and levels of dyslexia.<br />
    <br />
    3. The Idrissi International School located in Setia Alam, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia is a school which has the holistic practise for the teaching through centralising in learning through memorising and repetitive structure of learning through character visual stimulation. The introduction of BOOX in the school, aim to promote a stimulating visual process of creating the dyslexia awareness that will need to trajectory of the project forward, thus would popularize the necessary platform to other learning institutions.
