In our continued work to improve student learning, we have added ReadSpeaker, text-to-speech technology, to our Blackboard Learning Management System. The ReadSpeaker Suite of Learning Tools increases efficacy and extends the reach of online content by instantly creating an audio version of content which aligns with the Universal Design for Learning concepts.

By letting all your students know about this tool, you may be able to:

  • Improve course outcomes
  • Increase retention and success
  • Provide a bimodal learning option

Not only students with reading and learning difficulties can benefit, but any student can benefit! With the ReadSpeaker Suite of Learning Tools, you can customize your interaction with your learning to your learning style preference.

The video below will walk students through how to use ReadSpeaker
