<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all ATHEN-ites <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We need resources for a student who is significantly VI who
needs some tactile resources for an intro astronomy class.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The lab portion of the class covers the northern hemisphere
winter/spring seasons; the lecture portion of the class covers the whole sky.
We have an astronomy dome lab for observation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We expect to be able to do raised line printing for some of
the handouts & charts. The instructor(s) have provided all materials in PDF
format which our adaptive lab can either enlarge w/contrast or produce
raised-line charts. Student is a JAWS user; instructor(s) use WEBCT for
all homework assignments. We are providing a classroom assistant which can also
provide out-of-class assistance to read screens as necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any other suggestions will be most welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please let us know ASAP about any tactile astronomy
resources available…Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom and
willingness to share resources & solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
