> A critical instructional and assessment challenge faced by students with
> visual impairments is access to graphical and spatially presented
> information essential to the study of mathematics and science. Tablet
> computers, with built in accessibility supports, combined with innovative
> multimodal capabilities such as vibrotactile haptic feedback, show promise
> as a platform for presenting graphical information to students with visual
> impairments. We are currently exploring the combined use of haptic
> feedback and sonification to provide access to STEM content for students
> with visual impairments. The qualified intern will have exposure to
> assistive technologies, be familiar with tablet devices (e.g. iPad or
> Android), have experience understanding and editing HTML and Javascript
> code, have knowledge of accessibility standards such as W3C WCAG, and
> basic knowledge of usability research methods for studies with human
> participants.
