History [ edit ]
Former President of Botswana , Festus Mogae (right), a TeachAids advisor, helped bring the tutorials to Botswana.
TeachAids began in 2005 as a research project at Stanford University . From 2005 to 2009, a new interdisciplinary approach to HIV/AIDS education was developed through IRB -approved research by Piya Sorcar .[17] Learning Sciences ), Martin Carnoy (Comparative Education ), Cheryl Koopman (Psychiatry ), Randall Stafford (Epidemiology ), and Clifford Nass (Communication ).[7]
The project's goal was to find a way to address the frequently taboo subjects associated with sexual issues and HIV/AIDS specifically. One major finding was that 2D cartoon figures were the optimal balance between comfort and clarity in terms of visual representation for sex-related topics.[7] [18] HIV transmission and used cultural euphemisms to overcome social stigma .[19] instructional scaffolding ) were utilized to create a coherent conception of HIV transmission for learners, as opposed to the fragmented knowledge created by mass media campaigns.[20]
Early research versions of the software were sponsored by Time Warner , the Government of South Korea , and Neeru Khosla , and used custom illustrations drawn by Sorcar's father, award-winning animator Manick Sorcar .[20] English , Hindi , Kinyarwanda , Mandarin , and Spanish . Additional experts contributed to the design and evaluation of the materials, including Stanford professors David Katzenstein (Infectious Disease ), Douglas Owens (Medicine ), and Roy Pea (Learning Sciences).[21]
TeachAids was spun out of Stanford in 2009 as an independent 501(c )(3 ) organization, co-founded by Piya Sorcar , Clifford Nass , Shuman Ghosemajumder , and Ashwini Doshi.[4] Indian English , Telugu , and Tswana were launched in 2010.[22]
