Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v105 n3 p157-169 Mar 2011
Fourteen students with visual impairments in Grades 5-12 participated in the field-testing of AnimalWatch-VI-Beta. This computer program delivered 12 prealgebra math problems and hints through a self-voicing audio feature. The students provided feedback about how the computer program can be improved and expanded to make it accessible to all users. (Contains 3 tables.)
