Good evening AccessIndia mates! Wish you all the best of life! This is Saaqib Mahmood, a visually impaired (i.e. partially sighted) person from the town of Abbottabad (read Abbott Aubaud) in Pakistan. I've got an MPhil degree in mathematics and have been working as a government college teacher since August 2006.
I've introduced myself again for the benefit of those who've never read my posts on AccessIndia. I've since mid-2016 been into learning and mastering the Unified English Braille (UEB). During this while, I've completed three UEB courses over the Internet: the UEB Online course offered by a Renvick Center for the Blind & Deaf, Australia, which is available at the website http://www.uebonline.org and two courses from the Hadley Institute for the Blind & Visually Impaired, USA. I've for the past several months been also reading through the UEB Rulebook Second Edition 2013, in which I'm currently at Sec. 13 Foreign Languages. Are there anybody over here who is also working in the UEB (i.e. learning or teaching the braille code)? If so, let us connect using email or WhatsApp so we could benefit from each other's experiences. More broadly, with the advent of computer and mobile phone access technology tools for the blind and visually impaired people, what is the future of braille in India? Is braille --- especially the English braille --- still relevant in India and is going to remain so in the years to come? Regards. Sincerely, Saaqib Mahmood Assistant Professor of Mathematics Government Postgraduate College No. 1 Abbottabad, PAKISTAN Phone: 0092 334 541 7958 (mobile & WhatsApp) Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
