Therefore, demand for a low-cost technological tool is there that will help the blind students to learn math braille and calculate numbers more easily. To provide an effective and affordable assistive tool, this study begins with a needs assessment study to identify the basic needs of blind students in learning math braille and solving mathematical calculations. Afterward, a mobile phone based interactive assistive application is proposed to improve the learning facilities of math braille using Nemeth code for blind students in Bangladesh. Interfaces of the application are designed based on their needs. Besides, interaction methods (such as, hearing & touching) of blind students with the physical world were another criterion in designing very interactive interfaces that provide self-learning facilities. The interfaces are evaluated by the teachers, experts, and end users in order to identify the usability. The evaluation shows a promising result toward the acceptability of the designed application. Therefore, this application can be helpful for the blind students to learn math braille using Nemeth Code. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
