Speak Up: A Multi-Year Deployment of Games to Motivate Speech Therapy in India
summary
Two-year deployment at a Bengaluru residential school uses voice-powered games called Speak Up to motivate speech therapy and logs show roughly used once every two to four weeks between 2015 and 2017. Developers add an R/W teacher certification key so teachers grade pronunciation, and later build an Arduino-controlled toy car as an embodied agent. Results: teachers’ goals shift to two local categories (can't speak / can try), teacher computer literacy increases, classroom dynamics move between collective and one-on-one, and the car reliably boosts engagement for younger students but effectiveness is teacher-dependent.
