Dear TVIs, 

I have good news. As part of the initial phases of a two-year federal
research project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) we have
built  accessibility into two of our Quantum Artificial Intelligent (AI)
mathematics Tutors (Ratio and Proportions and Metric Units tutors), and we
need to field  test the Tutors with blind and visually impaired students.
This field testing is a critical part of the grant process. This not only
shows the effectiveness  of the Tutors, but also shows NIH that this project
was worth funding. 

We are hoping to find TVIs that have two of their students that will be
covering these topics some time in the fall.  We would like to do a pre/post
test  study with one of the students as a control and the other use the
Tutor.  Each TVI is eligible for a stipend of $150 per topic for a possible
total of $300. 

If you only have one student that will be covering these topics and are
interested in participating, please contact me anyway, because we may need
your input  as well.  

Please let me know if you can help with this field testing, and I will
provide you with all the details and usernames/passwords for you to gain
access to the  Tutors. You can contact me at dittel at quantumsimulations.com. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Best regards, 

Jeff
