>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.

>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.
