Description
In collaboration with the Tufts Center for Engineering Educational Outreach (CEEO), CAST is developing RoboBooks, an interactive workspace for high school students with high incidence disabilities that will improve their science understanding.
CAST will apply its expertise in developing technology supports and instructional materials to the project. The overall objectives of the project are to develop RoboBooks with accompanying curricula in physics and chemistry, investigate the impact of RoboBooks on science learning for students with high incidence disabilities through a pilot study, and disseminate the research findings.
