First-of-its-kind learning platform could give students who are blind or visually impaired access to STEM-related graphics
Development and evaluation of a first-of-its-kind remote learning platform providing people who are blind or visually impaired (BVI) nonvisual access to STEM-related graphical information is the focus of a $748,000 National Science Foundation grant to the University of 海角社区.
The project, 鈥淎 Remote Multimodal Learning Environment to Increase Graphical Information Access for Blind and Visually Impaired Students,鈥 is led by Nicholas Giudice, U海角社区 professor of spatial informatics who directs the Virtual Environment and Multimodal Interaction (VEMI) Laboratory. The research team also includes Justin Dimmel, U海角社区 assistant professor of mathematics education and instructional technology, and Stacy Doore, visiting assistant professor of computer science at Bowdoin College.
