(Screenshot from DOST-5 Facebook page) MANILA-The Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) has allocated over PHP3.2 million funding for a project that aims to develop a tool that could assess the handwriting of children. "There is much information that can be gathered from the simple pencil grasp, speed and legibility of handwriting; and even different stroke patterns. The proposed solution is to gather these available data from handwriting stroke patterns and (get the) distinct features using a specialized smartpen," Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Fortunato de la Pena said in a taped report aired Friday afternoon. The project called i-SULAT (Intelligent Stroke Utilization, Learning, Assessment, and Testing) aims to create a system and unified handwriting tool that could help solve the problems of inter-tool scoring variations, inconsistency, incongruence, and assessment time, according to de la Pena.
