Seeing and Hearing

This lesson introduces AI-generated sound as a tool to make spaces more accessible. By allowing learners to engage through sound rather than sight or text, AI provides an alternative way to explore, interact, and connect with space. This supports sensory engagement, spatial recognition, and learner agency, ensuring that learners who process information differently can still participate.

This lesson was developed by Kevin McPhee with assistance from Dandan Martindale.
