[Athen] Note taking assistance for a student who is blind

[Debbie Krahmer]

I’ve experienced this with low vision, where I suggested the student to
just make a big scribble mark when something important was said or to
“bookmark” different parts of the lecture they wanted to go back to. It
doesn’t require being able to read your handwriting at all, just stab a
scribble with a pen. I’m sure with a stylus you could make the pages more
tactile and easier to make marks.

Sonocent lets you record audio and make bookmarks, but I’m not aware of a
regular digital recorder where you could do this...

Thanks,
Debbie K.
