<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">As a complement to some of the ideas they have suggested, if the chalkboard is the only option, then I ask for more frequent washing of the chalk boards, which significantly improves
the contrast both for visual access and cameras pointed at the boards.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Alternatively, I have a conversation with the instructor to explore the possibility of writing under a document camera with felt tip pen instead of the chalkboard. If possible, I
then use the USB port of the doc cam as a way to pull the live video onto the instructor’s or podium’s computer. We then use a webinar software like Zoom or Google meet (without audio to avoid feedback) or similar to share the doc cam view to the student’s
laptop. Depending on the doc cam, it may show up as a camera or you may have to put it in a window and then screen share the window. I typically have the instructor leave the projector on the doc cam selection as the screen share of the doc cam from the
laptop will have a little lag and/or slightly lower frame rate to it, but the clarity should be very good. If the instructor is sharing other visual materials like websites or videos or PPT, then the screenshare is best as you can leave it in that mode the
entire class. A nice benefit of this is ending up with good quality paper copies of what was written. A similar result can also be achieved with the instructor using an iPad/stylus, Surface tablet, interactive whiteboard, etc.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a Visually Impaired student who is going to be in a business calculus class this semester. The instructor uses the chalk board and we are worried about how she is going to see the board. We are going to have a note taker but it
would be nice if she could follow on the chalk board while the class is going on.<o:p></o:p></p>
