1. e-Campus
In 2012 the web site was completely redesigned
and restructured in both French and English,
running under a content management system
with clear menus and submenus to help viewers
find the materials.
A film library was created which includes excerpts
featuring success stories from our CD-ROM Tintin
helps dyslexia learners. Added to this part, thanks to
generous funding provided by our founder member,
André Poncelet, is a dubbed version in English of
the film Dyslexia – How to weave a solid structure
of support, which was first created in French to
augment the online course in that language.
There is a software section of free IT aids, critiqued
by E.A. Draffan of Southampton University. A Test
Centre has been added with addresses of web sites
that provide free diagnostic tools.
A Reading Room includes articles and papers by
Professors Shaywitz and Stein, and Drs Ramus and
Chasty. The latter is a greatly expanded and updated
version of the paper Dr Chasty delivered at the World
Dyslexia Forum in 2010. It was prepared for us by
students in the department of typography at the
University of Reading, UK. (This team is also working
on the English version of Dr Milne’s book Teaching
the brain to read.)

The ‘Laboratory’ explains how modern scientific
methods of research are throwing ever greater
light on the causes of developmental dyslexia,
including the fields of psychology, neuroimaging,
electroencephalography, genetics, molecular biology,
neuroscience and anatomy.
