<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>First, I am currently enrolled in the NIU UEB course. I am looking forward
to practicing my UEB skills using it over the summer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Yesterday I contacted Louisiana Tech to see if The Ashcroft book might be
available in Braille, and the lady I spoke with did not think it was. However,
the author has contacted me, and there is a Braille version of the UEB version.
Could you please pass this information along to them? Her reply to my inquiry is
below:</DIV>
<DIV>“</DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Anita, </FONT>
<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">We have a print edition and Braille edition of
the Ashcroft’s Programmed Instruction in Braille (UEB). You will not need the
4th edition because it is the older book.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Instructor’s Manual is currently only in
the print edition right now but should be coming out in a Braille edition by the
end of the summer!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">If you are blind, you may prefer to just get
the API-UEB-be as that is the only book you currently need. The first and second
books you noted in your email are the same book. One is print and one is
braille.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">Please advise what you wish to do. I can send
you an invoice or you can just go on our website and order that
way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<H2 style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0in; mso-list: none">Online UEB
Training!<o:p></o:p></H2>
<P>Two new online UEB training projects are nearing completion and should be
available this month. These projects were funded by the U.S. Department of
Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services and will run
for the next several years. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P>The UEBot (Unified English Braille Online Training) project, presented by
Northern Illinois University, is a free course that starts this summer, and will
be available for either continuing education or university credit. The course is
designed to be a month-long MOOC (massive open online course) and will cover the
basics of UEB in this first year, and then more advanced topics. For more
information, visit uebot.niu.edu.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>From Portland State University comes UEB PREP (Unified English Braille
through a Powerful and Responsive eLearning Platform). This free course will
also start with UEB basics in the first year and then expand its content in
subsequent years. The course will include educational crowdsourcing and use of
social media to build networks of users, educators, and families. For more
information, visit http://www.uebprep.com. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Both courses are exciting new ways to learn UEB that take advantage of new
and accessible technology and formats. There's a great deal of anticipation and
enthusiasm about both learning opportunities. Thanks for the project staff at
both universities for their creative ideas and inviting course
offerings!<o:p></o:p></P>
