Case Study: UNAD achieves inclusive, accessible distance learning with ReadSpeaker

UNAD supports 1.3 billion characters of text-to-speech with ReadSpeaker

The Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia (UNAD) needed to remove barriers and ensure equitable, accessible digital education for its vast and diverse student body. To achieve this, UNAD integrated ReadSpeaker's text-to-speech technology into its Moodle LMS as part of a commitment to Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

ReadSpeaker provided a seamless integration that allowed students to listen to content while reading it. The solution delivered significant results, with students listening to 1.3 billion characters in a single year. Usage notably increased during exam periods, demonstrating the tool's value in reducing cognitive load and supporting comprehension, which helped UNAD deliver a more inclusive and high-quality educational experience.
