Monday Night Chat
Special Time 9:30 p.M. Eastern time
I would like to invite everyone to join us for a Monday Night Chat October
17th at 9:30 PM Eastern time, 8:30 PM Central, 7:30 PM Mountain, 6:30 PM
Pacific, 5:30 PM Alaska time!
We will have Professor Richard Baldwin as a guest speaker the creator of
a drawing program that he designed for the blind.
He states:
"Having been the sighted teacher of a blind student for several years, I
firmly believe that making it possible for blind and visually impaired
people, and particularly blind and visually impaired students in STEM
courses, to communicate using accurate printed and tactile graphics will
improve the quality of life and the likelihood of academic success for
those
students.
I have written a computer program that makes it possible, for the first
time
in history, for blind and visually impaired people to create such graphics
in an accessible and user-friendly way.
Version 0.0.8 of my drawing program for blind students is now posted and
available for free and immediate download at":
