[Blindmath] new article on teaching stats to blind students

[Godfrey, Jonathan]

Hello all,

I'm pleased to advise that an article written by me and Theodor Loots (also on this list) is about to appear in the Journal of Statistics Education.

In the end we called it "Advice from blind teachers on  how to teach statistics to blind students" and I'm comfortable that it is a good read. We didn't talk about anything experimental as too often we've noted that experimental things don't always make it to common use in classrooms. The journal currently publishes its works in pdf but maybe one day they'll convert the back-issues to html. The pdf is readable but the headings and tables are not structured. I'm waiting for permission to make a more structured version available in html.

The direct url for download is:

Perhaps one of the most interesting things is that Theodor and I have worked on this and another paper without ever being face to face. That's changing this summer (southern hemisphere style) so perhaps we'll think about the next papers to work on while we're together.

Cheers,
Jonathan
