I thought I would give more detail in hopes of getting some feedback. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Schoolbook","serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Schoolbook","serif"">I have a vision impaired student that is currently taking a graduate class that heavily relies on statistics. She uses the Zoomtext magnifier/screen reader to assist her in the course. There are exercises that she must complete as homework that make reference to several charts and graphs in the text (she has the e-text). Of course the screen reader on Zoomtext will not read the charts and graphs. This student’s vision impairment impacts the detail and resolution of things she’s viewing. So when she looks at the graphs, in particular, she’s not able to see any fine lines and/or the contrast of shading in the graphs. Additionally, the more the image is magnified, the less resolution and sharpness she can see. This is making it difficult for her to complete her assignments. Have you ever run across something like this? This student is taking this course online, so it’s difficult to get her physical one on one assistance in reading the graphs. We are working on that, but I didn’t know if there may be anything else that can help her. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Schoolbook","serif""> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Schoolbook","serif"">I appreciate any help or thoughts you may have on this.
