The READ-COM Animation APP

The educational APP will be based on the educational inspiration coming from the topics treated and implemented within the IO1 and IO2. It will be realized with the Creative Commons license, will be free and easily accessible and downloadable, of public use and consultation as OER. It will allow both to all partners and everyone else interested in – institutions, professors, university students, family, other schools than the already involved, professionals – to access and to use all the READ- COM intellectual products.

This PRODUCT constitutes, at the same time, the prerequisite and the technical mean for promoting effectively reading attitude among children, their families and belonging communities, by using proper mobile devices. Devices like Smartphones and tablet computers can indeed offer new ways of reading. They are attractive to younger people (and could thus encourage reading aptitude), they also offer accessibility features and are increasingly popular among people of any age.

CTI Patras (GR) as lead partner responsible for the APP development, will be supported by a tandem partner (UMA as a Scientific Supervisor), who will collaborate in carrying out the specific tasks planned for the APP creation. They will work closely together to transform the requirements specified in the PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORK and the contents implemented in the READING EDUCATION TOOLKIT into Educational Reading “ludic” activities that need to be programmed by CTI within the APP.
