[Athen] Fwd: Recruiting for Digital Math Focus Groups

[Michael Cantino]

Hello,



We are conducting a research study approved by Florida State University’s
and the University of South Carolina’s IRB Boards to explore how
individuals with visual impairments, both high school students in grades
9-12 and college students, use technology to participate in math learning.
The technology includes both mainstream technology (e.g., tablets,
computers) and specialized assistive technology for people with visual
impairments (e.g., braille notetakers, video magnifiers, JAWS, VoiceOver).



We are asking for your help to advertise our study. We are seeking four
groups of individuals:

   - *High school students* with visual impairments in grades 9-12 enrolled
   in an academic math (e.g., algebra, geometry) who use technology at school
   and work with a teacher of students with visual impairments.
   - *College students* with visual impairments at 2 or 4 year
   colleges/universities who have had a math class within the last 2 years and
   who use technology at college. College students may have had a visual
   impairment in high school or acquired it post-high school.
   - *Teachers of students with visual impairments* who have 3 years or
   more of teaching experience and have one or more high school students who
   use technology in math class.
   - *General education math teachers* who have a student with a visual
   impairment in grades 9-12 with a visual impairment in their academic math
   class (e.g., algebra, geometry) and who have taught math at the high school
   level for 3 years or more.



Individuals who wish to participate can go to the recruitment form

Please share the attached flier that explains the study in more detail with
those who may wish to participate.
