Description

Accessible Mathematics for Students who are Blind or have Low Vision. This project aims to create an accessible digital workbook that supports participation in mathematics by students who are blind or have low vision (BLV). Difficulty accessing visual materials, graphing calculators and sharing materials with teachers and peers has led to low participation rates by BLV students in secondary school mathematics, limiting future employment opportunities. By applying human-centred co-design methods, an innovative digital workbook will be created that allows mathematics and graphics to be manipulated and shared by BLV students, educators and their peers. This should provide significant benefits to Australia by ensuring greater equity of access to education and employment for people with disability.. Scheme: Linkage Projects.
