The “Readco.ai Agent” project aims to elevate reading comprehension through an application grounded in arts and artificial intelligence, incorporating the Socratic method across five languages. It develops innovative pedagogical approaches with a focus on inclusivity, creativity, and cost-effectiveness. It heightens awareness of common EU values as exemplified in the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals through animated storytelling.
The implementation of the “Readco AI Agent” project includes the development of animated and comic-based stories that cater to diverse linguistic backgrounds and focus on addressing language gaps in reading comprehen- sion. The stories will be based on the 17 UN sustainable goals targeting (immigrant) students in the language learning process. They will be integrated into a mobile application that will be developed by the project, making use of an advanced AI agent.
Combining state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology with the creative graphic art of a unique visual pedagogy focusing on language acquisition and the Socratic method. Unlike traditional language learning methods, the incorporation of visuals, including videos, animations of stories, and comics that harvest creativity of AI and art, distinguishes this project as an avant-garde educational endeavor.
