Science Education Through Accessible Video Content

Science education for the school learners who are hearing impaired is a multi-layered problem. It is found that from the teachers who can teach using sign language only few have science background. In such a case, use of online resources is a solution; however, there is a dearth of educational content created using sign language. We have created video content with an objective of bridging this gap. The videos explain the making of science toys (designed by Arvind Gupta) in a conversational format. Teacher training was conducted to explain the application of the videos in classroom. Results of preliminary tests with Teachers and learners reveal that they find these videos useful from the content as well as the access perspective.
