iRead4Skills Co-Creation Workshop
On February 17, 2025, a co-creation workshop was held at NOVA University Lisbon to refine the features and requirements of the applications being developed under the iRead4Skills project: the Text Classifier by Level of Complexity/Difficulty and the Writing Analyzer/Assistant.
The event brought together 12 teachers from various schools and adult education centers who had previously participated in project activities. The session began with a general presentation of iRead4Skills by Raquel Amaro, outlining its objectives and strategy. This was followed by a conceptual overview of the tools presented by Jorge Batista, including a practical demonstration of the Text Classifier, which evaluates text complexity and visually represents vocabulary difficulty.
During the session, guidelines were presented on complexity factors and recommendations for adapting texts to the desired level. Participants also explored the Writing Analyzer’s approach to text evaluation and the different recommendations it provides.
The discussion was highly engaging, with participants raising relevant questions, sharing experiences, and providing constructive feedback. Overall, the tools were well received and considered valuable resources for supporting literacy education. Teachers also emphasized the importance of usability, accessibility, and pedagogical adaptability.
The iRead4Skills co-creation workshop served as a crucial opportunity for dialogue, ensuring that the tools being developed align with the real needs of educators and learners.
