Many visually impaired people have difficulty learning mathematics. The lack of higher math skills limits educational and job opportunities for many visually impaired people since numerous professions are requiring more technical skills. The objective of the Screen Reader Architecture Math System (SRAMS) is to design, develop, and test a computer based system which uses successful screen reading ...

This research will explore the use of a virtual polyhedron modeling environment which creates nets, or patterns, for a polyhedron created on the screen, in the teaching of geometry and spatial skills. When the net is printed, cut, folded, and glued together, a 3-dimensional model of the original polyhedron is created. We propose to examine the use of this tool in an instructional setting, to dete ...

The goal of this project is to improve remedial math instruction for adults by combining (a) an effective adult education model; (b) an effective instructional design method, with; (c) the multimedia capabilities of the computer. The innovative combination of these components will produce an effective math program designed specifically for adult learners that can be used at home, at school, or ...
