[Athen] athen-list Digest, Vol 136, Issue 1

[Leyna Bencomo]

Hi Andy, 

Maybe I'm feisty today but I'd be inclined to ask the faculty member to provide alternate equivalent accessible material If they choose to use this as their teaching tool.  I try very hard to convert/remediate/accommodate but if I get material that is impossible to work with, I put it back on them and the Disability Services Director to work out another method or determine that the class is inaccessible and out of compliance.  (The student will need to be involved as well in case they have ideas.)   We can't work miracles.   Well...maybe sometimes, but not always!

Hello All,

What are other institutions doing with inaccessible online Chemistry labs? The product I am speaking of is MacMillan's Late Nite Lab. The lab consists of a 3D interface that is inaccessible. When I contacted the publisher their response was they would pay someone to sit with the student and essentially click the screen for them. I didn't think this to be satisfactory so I wanted to see what other institutions were doing in situations like this.

Thank you,
Andy Swanson

Hello,

I am going to take a Discrete Math class in the Summer, and I am looking to see if  my book for the class has already been brailled.
Does anyone know or have suggestions where I might find the book:

Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof by Ted Sundstrom

It is a free book that can be downloaded from:

http://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/books/7/

I have already done a lot of testing with the book with Jaws and NVDA, and I don't think that I will be able to get through the whole quarter with the accessibility that I have to work with.

Thanks,

TJ Breitenfeldt

Have you looked in the Louis database from APH www.aph.org

I just looked. It does not appear that APH has that book.

Thanks for the resource though.
