- Title
eText, Mathematics, and Students With Visual Impairments.
- Authors
Bouck, Emily C.; Meyer, Nancy K.
- Abstract
The article discusses the teaching of mathematics to students with visual impairments using electronic assistive technologies that incorporate the electronic presentation of text (eText). The authors look at challenges students with visual impairments face, such as Braille and colors in traditional print textbooks, as well as the ways in which certain mathematical markup language (MathML) accommodates these challenges. Topics include various document markup languages that format electronic text such as LaTeX or TeX, the use of eText and electronic textbooks for online learning, as well as several eText products by various companies such as Touch Graphics Inc. which specializes in tactile graphics, ViewPlus Software, Inc. for graphing calculators, and APH Inc. for drawing.
