Project Details
Project Description
Australian students who are blind or have low vision (BLV) are choosing not to undertake mathematics in secondary school due to accessibility issues.
The project will seek to address this issue by exploring and evaluating new assistive technologies created using apps, sonification, tactile refreshable displays, and maker technology (e.g. 3D printing and laser cutting) to provide accessible participation in mathematics in three main areas:
Accessible notation - methods for reading and writing mathematics that can contribute to a shared understanding between student, teacher and peers
Accessible graphics - more dynamic access to reading and creating mathematical diagrams
Accessible tools - an accessible graphing calculator
This will be achieved largely through the creation of an accessible notebook for mathematics.
