Gallaudet University was awarded a $879,699 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems. The grant is part of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) and will support the NEW DIMENSIONS OF ASL LEARNING: IMPLEMENTING AND TESTING SIGNING AVATARS & IMMERSIVE LEARNING (SAIL 2) project from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

Under this award, Gallaudet University will develop and test signing avatars and immersive technologies to advance learning of American Sign Language. The University will implement signing avatars and virtual reality environments to deliver immersive ASL instruction. Outcomes will assess the impact of these technologies on deaf students' language acquisition and overall learning experience. Findings will inform the integration of signing avatars and virtual reality into mainstream ASL pedagogy.
