Faoi LUDIA
Tugadh LUDIA isteach den chéad uair i Lúnasa 2023 ag Beth Stark agus Jérémie Rostan ar ardán Poe. I Lúnasa 2026, seoladh LUDIA nuadheartha mar uirlis saor in aisce, atógtha ó bhonn ar a ardán féin.
Cad é LUDIA
Is comhpháirtí smaointeoireachta ilteangach é LUDIA, faoi thiomáint intleachta saorga, a nascann oideachasóirí, dearthóirí teagaisc, agus ceannairí foghlama le creat an Dearadh Uilíoch don Fhoghlaim. Déan cur síos ar bhac a chastar ar fhoghlaimeoir, agus oibreoidh LUDIA leat ar dhearadh na taithí foghlama seachas ar an bhfoghlaimeoir féin, ag tagairt do Threoirlínte UDL CAST agus é ag dul ar aghaidh.
An bhrí atá leis seo go praiticiúil
- Saor in aisce, gan chleas ar bith. Gan síntiúis, gan leibhéal préimhe, gan bhalla íocaíochta, gan triail.
- Saor ó fhógraíocht. Gan fógraí, gan ábhar urraithe, gan atreoruithe tráchtála.
- Príobháideach de bharr ailtireachta. Tá LUDIA deartha chun UDL a aithint, ní an t-úsáideoir. Gan chuntas, gan phróifíl, gan aon ábhar comhrá stóráilte ar ár bhfreastalaithe. Is leatsa d'idirbhearta, is féidir leat iad a íoslódáil, agus is féidir leat ceann a uaslódáil arís níos déanaí chun leanúint ar aghaidh.
- Deartha le haghaidh inrochtaineachta. Tógtha agus tástáilte de réir leibhéal AA de WCAG 2.2. Táthar ag pleanáil iniúchadh neamhspleách agus tá tuarascáil chomhréireachta á hullmhú.
- An dearadh chun tosaigh. Treoraíonn gach freagra i dtreo bacainní i ndearadh na dtaithí agus na dtimpeallachtaí foghlama a aithint agus a laghdú, ní san fhoghlaimeoir.
- Ilteangach. Freagraíonn LUDIA i 13 theanga. Is í an Béarla an teanga bhunaidh a scríobhadh; aistrítear na cinn eile go meaisín agus féadfaidh earráidí a bheith iontu.
Dhá rud nach é LUDIA. Ní táirge é a ghineann ioncam, agus níl sé ar díol. Níor deineadh staidéar go fóill ar a éifeacht ar an bhfoghlaim. Ní mór go dtiocfadh an fhianaise sin ó thaighde neamhspleách, agus táimid ag obair air sin.
Ráiteas Deartha agus Fianaise
Léadh LUDIA i gcoinne ceithre threoir ó 2026 ó UNICEF, an Coimisiún Eorpach, an EdTech Quality Collaborative, agus an European EdTech Alliance. Ní éileamh é go bhfuil LUDIA ar comhchéim leo. Leagann sé amach an méid a dheartar againn, an méid nár dheartar, agus an méid atáimid ag beartú a chomhaireamh mar fhianaise, ionas gur féidir an chéad leagan eile a thomhas i gcoinne an leagain seo. Leagan 1.0, Lúnasa 2026. 39 leathanach.
Dhá eagrán den doiciméad céanna. Tá an PDF clibeáilte mar PDF/UA-1 do léitheoirí scáileáin agus le haghaidh priontála. Is comhad amháin neamhspleách é an t-eagrán HTML nach dteastaíonn ceangal líonra uaidh a luaithe a shábháiltear é.
Tá stílbhileog agus marc LUDIA leabaithe san HTML, mar sin is féidir é a chur áit ar bith agus oibríonn sé as líne a luaithe a shábháiltear é.

An Gradam CAST Anne Meyer UDL Design Award
In 2025, fuair dearthóirí LUDIA, Beth Stark agus Jérémie Rostan, an Gradam CAST Anne Meyer UDL Design Award, a aithníonn dearadh agus feidhmiú eisceachtúil ar Dhearadh Uilíoch don Fhoghlaim. Bronnadh an gradam ag UDL-CON: International i Washington, D.C. Faoi Ghradaim UDL CAST, osclaíonn i gcluaisín nua
Léigh sleachta
Sleachta ón óráid ghlactha ag UDL-CON: International, Washington, D.C., 2025. Fágadh sleachta ar lár, agus léirítear na sleachta sin le hellips. Níor athfhraiseáladh aon abairt.
B'fhéidir go bhfuil go leor agaibh ag fiafraí cad go díreach é "LUDIA"? Is ceist chóir í sin! Ba mhaith linn nóiméad a thógáil chun an "cad" agus an "cén fáth" a bhaineann le LUDIA a mhíniú. Dheartaimid LUDIA mar chomhpháirtí smaointeoireachta do cheannairí foghlama ar fud an domhain, chun rochtain ar theicneolaíocht na hintleachta saorga a leathnú, agus níos tábhachtaí fós, rochtain ar na meonta agus na cleachtais UDL is féidir le hintleacht shaorga cabhrú lena gcur i bhfeidhm.
…
Ní táirge é LUDIA a ghineann ioncam, ní gnólacht nuathionscanta muid, agus "níl", níl súil againn go gceannófar LUDIA lá éigin. Chruthaigh oideachasóirí LUDIA, do oideachasóirí.
…
Is meascán é ainm LUDIA, ar ndóigh, de na giorrúcháin AI agus UDL. Is imeartas focal é freisin ar "ludum", an focal Laidine ar spraoi agus foghlaim.
…
Nuair a nascann tú le LUDIA, gheobhaidh tú treoir eolach faoi conas bacainní a laghdú agus gníomhaíocht a chur i lár an dearaidh i dtaithí agus i dtimpeallachtaí foghlama. Is féidir rochtain a fháil ar LUDIA saor in aisce … níl LUDIA foirfe, chun tosaigh, ná ar an teicneolaíocht is déanaí, ach tá sé thar a bheith éifeachtach mar chomhpháirtí smaointeoireachta UDL. Tá LUDIA deartha freisin chun naisc a chruthú le peadagóige criticiúla a leathnaíonn, mar aon le creat UDL, ár gcumas bacainní a laghdú agus na coinníollacha a chruthú do ghníomhaíocht dhílis, ag baint leasa as cumhacht na hintleachta saorga chun treoir iontaofa a sholáthar agus acmhainní a ghineann a shábhálann am.
…
In 2025, d'fhoghlaimíomar an-chuid. Tuigimid anois nach féidir linn brath amháin ar ENRanna leochaileacha, ar chuideachtaí EdTech, agus go cinnte ní ar rialtais, chun deiseanna agus acmhainní a sholáthar d'oideachasóirí ar fud an domhain agus muid ag obair chun UDL a chur i bhfeidhm. Ach tá a chéile againn!
…
Ba mhaith linn buíochas a ghabháil libh arís as an ngradam seo. Ní fheicimid é mar aitheantas ar ghaisce, ach mar dhearbhú ar ár dtiomantas, agus mar spreagadh chun leanúint ar aghaidh ag laghdú bacainní rochtana; leanfaimid orainn ag dearadh, go dtí nach mbeidh aon teorainn leis an bhfoghlaim.
Conas LUDIA a lua
Luaigh LUDIA mar uirlis, ní mar fhoinse. Ní choinníonn LUDIA idirbhearta. Ní stóráiltear aon rud, agus ní féidir aon fhreagra a aisghabháil ina dhiaidh sin. Ní féidir aschuir aonair LUDIA a lua. Tagair do LUDIA féin:
