[nabs-l] Students needed for research study

[Mikaela Stevens]

Hello everyone,

 

Some of you may already know about this research study, but for those of you who do not, many more blind students are needed to make this study worthwhile. All you have to do is complete a survey online. If you have time and are interested, here is further information (this message is from Frances Mary D'Andrea):

 

Seeking Students for Research Study

Students who are between the ages of 16 and 22 years who are Braille readers and users of assistive technology are needed for a study. This study will explore how you use both Braille and electronic information for classroom work, and how you learned these literacy practices. The purpose of this research will be to add to our understanding of the current role of both hard-copy (paper) Braille and use of electronic access to information by people who are blind from ages 16-22, and your attitudes and perceptions about both braille and technology. This information will inform how we prepare pre-service teachers to instruct young braille readers.

If you are interested in participating in this study or getting more information, please contact me via email at fmd22 at pitt.edu,

Thank you and take care!
