How can researchers, product developers, schools, and educators ensure that students with diverse abilities and backgrounds are meaningfully benefiting from new educational tools and technology?
SRI Education’s Shari Gardner and Jennifer Nakamura join host Kori Hamilton Biagas to discuss several of their projects that focus on creating accessible digital platforms for students with disabilities, particularly students who are blind or low vision (BLV).
Gardner and Nakamura share insights from their work with Alchemie Solutions, Inc. to develop Kasi – a program combining digital interactives, physical manipulatives, and computer vision technology to support BLV students in learning chemistry content. They also explore the potential for other innovative tools and technologies to create truly inclusive and engaging spaces for all students to engage with data and data visualizations.
