Subject: [Blindmath] Seeking Field Evaluators for Talking Protractor App
Seeking Field Evaluators for Talking Protractor App
APH is seeking field evaluators for Talking Protractor app.
Talking Protractor is an iOS app designed for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Its
purpose is to give students who are blind or have low vision a protractor tool
that provides more accurate measurements than existing braille and large print
protractors. The app allows students to measure angles in two ways. First,
students can place an angle over the screen of a device and trace along the rays
of the angle. The app records locations of the rays and then calculates the
angle formed by the rays. Students can also choose to measure angles by rotating
their devices. With its built-in gyroscope sensor, the app can tell students how
much their devices rotate and report angle measurements in both degrees and
radians.
To participate in this field test, field evaluators should have iPad 3 (or
above) running iOS 8 (or above). Evaluators will be asked to use Talking
Protractor app with math students with blindness or low vision. They will then
complete and return a product evaluation form at the end of the testing period.
Field test sites will be selected based upon geographic location, number of
available students, and type of instructional setting. The field test will begin
in March and be completed by the end of April 2016.
If you are interested in serving as a field evaluator, please provide the
following information:
a. your name, title, school/agency, and type of setting (e.g., residential,
itinerant);
b. type of iPad you will use during this evaluation and the version of its
iOS operating system;
c. number of available students with ages, grade levels, and primary reading
media indicated;
d. your preferred reading medium for evaluation materials and evaluation
form (regular print/large print/braille/electronic); and
e. your complete contact information (phone number, mailing address, and
e-mail address).
Please send this information to Li Zhou at lz...@aph.org by March 20, 2016.
You may also contact Li at 800-223-1839, ext. 424.
Thank you!
Li Zhou
