Hello, 

 

We are conducting a research study approved by Florida State University’s and the University of South Carolina’s IRB Boards to explore how individuals with visual impairments, both high school students in grades 9-12 and college students, use technology to participate in math learning. The technology includes both mainstream technology (e.g., tablets, computers) and specialized assistive technology for people with visual impairments (e.g., braille notetakers, video magnifiers, JAWS, VoiceOver). 

 

We are asking for your help to advertise our study. We are seeking four groups of individuals: 

*	High school students with visual impairments in grades 9-12 enrolled in an academic math (e.g., algebra, geometry) who use technology at school and work with a teacher of students with visual impairments. 
*	College students with visual impairments at 2 or 4 year colleges/universities who have had a math class within the last 2 years and who use technology at college. College students may have had a visual impairment in high school or acquired it post-high school. 
*	Teachers of students with visual impairments who have 3 years or more of teaching experience and have one or more high school students who use technology in math class. 
*	General education math teachers who have a student with a visual impairment in grades 9-12 with a visual impairment in their academic math class (e.g., algebra, geometry) and who have taught math at the high school level for 3 years or more. 

 

Individuals who wish to participate can go to the  <https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dnDem4QNP6Y5GqW> recruitment form or copy and paste this link into your web browser:  <https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dnDem4QNP6Y5GqW> https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dnDem4QNP6Y5GqW  

 

Please share the attached flier that explains the study in more detail with those who may wish to participate.  

 
Thank you,
