Hansen, Eric G.; Shute, Valerie J.; Landau, Steven
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v104 n5 p275-286 May 2010
This study examined the usability of an assessment-for-learning (AfL) system that provides audio-tactile graphics for algebra content (geometric sequences) for individuals with visual impairments--two who are blind and two with low vision. It found that the system is generally usable as a mathematics AfL system. (Contains 4 tables.)
