[Access Lunch] Accessibility Lunch - 02/05/24

[Peya Mowar]

We will have guest speakers from Microsoft Research India joining us  
remotely for next week's accessibility lunch. Abstract: Empowering Diverse  
Learning through SEEDS This presentation explores SEEDS, a research project  
designed to enhance educational accessibility for children with vision  
impairments (CVIs) in India. SEEDS (Scalable Educational Experiences with  
Digital Scaffolding), created in collaboration with Vision Empower, is a  
voice-based educational platform for CVIs. It integrates an Android Teacher  
App, an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, and a website for content  
management, facilitating interactive STEM education. A study with 29  
visually impaired students demonstrated SEEDS' capacity to engage students  
and support collaboration, despite connectivity challenges. This talk will  
explore the journey of SEEDS from conception to field studies, highlighting  
the technological innovations, collaborative efforts, and the learning  
experiences they facilitate for the CVI community. Speakers: Roshni Poddar  
is a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Lab India (MSRI). She received  
her undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from PES  
University, Bangalore, India. Her passion lies in co-designing, building,  
and evaluating systems to facilitate learning, creativity, and  
mixed-ability collaboration with people from disability communities. She  
loves to paint and play table tennis. She is applying to PhD programs this  
fall! :) Tarini Naik is a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research Lab India  
(MSRI). She received her undergraduate degree in Industrial Design from  
Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore, India.  
She works on various projects in the field of HCI, Accessibility, and  
Service Design. Her research interests are deeply rooted in accessibility  
and societal impact. She also likes to write poetry and sing in her free  
time.
