[Harvey, Wayne]

Thanks Ed. I have been in contact with Quantum about this -- they will
be starting a study soon and I'm expecting that one of our students will
participate. The original notice came through a list serve and through a
professor here, but I appreciate the reminder form you. Wayne.

Hey Science Teachers,

I posted the below message yesterday and forgot the most important part
:-) 
We will be paying participating TVIs $100.  We estimate it should not
take 
more than 1 to 2 hours of your time.

Please help us out if you can.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Dear Science Teachers,

I have great news! We have built accessibility into our Quantum
Chemistry 
Tutors, and need to field test the Tutors with blind and visually
impaired 
students as part of a two-year federal research project funded by the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH). This field testing is a critical
part 
of the grant process. This not only shows the effectiveness of the
Tutors, 
but also shows NIH that this project was worth funding. Would you please

help us and have your students participate and provide feedback?

To make it convenient for you, along with access to the software, we
will 
provide simple assignments to help you and students become familiar with
how 
to use each Tutor. Once the students have had an opportunity to work
with a 
few of the Tutors, we would like you to complete a brief survey to give 
feedback describing their experience with the software.

Chemistry topics include:

* Chemical Bonding
* Elements
* Chemical Reactions
* Equation Balancing
* Ionic Compound Formulas
* Mathematics of Chemical Formulas
* Measurement
* Oxidation Numbers
* Stoichiometry

While primarily for high school and college-level students, some of the 
Tutors are applicable for middle school students such as Elements, 
Measurement and Chemical Reactions so students from all three levels can

participate.

Please let me know if you can help with this field testing, and I can 
provide usernames/passwords for you to gain access to the Tutors. You
can 
contact me at dittel at quantumsimulations.com.

In order to meet the requirements for the grant study, we would need to 
receive the student feedback surveys by February 26, 2010. Will you
please 
help us? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,

Jeff
