<p class=MsoNormal style='background:#F3F3F3'>A student who is blind is
planning on taking an Astronomy introductory course at our University.
The material is very visual. Has anyone had any experience with this type
of coursework? The primary textbook, <i>Universe</i> by Freedman and
Kaufmann, consists of numerous graphic representations, photographs of stars
and galaxies, etc. I would very much appreciate any suggestions of how to
depict this type of information for this student. <o:p></o:p></p>
