Abstract:
The paper presents an account of the formative evaluation of
a multimedia 'MATHS' workstation which is being developed to
provide usable access for blind and partially sighted students
reading and manipulating mathematical expressions.
As part of the process of designing a user centred workstation
a survey was carried out, to gather data of user characteristics,
end-user needs and requirements. The user needs survey was administered
to a sample (n=42) of blind and partially sighted students and
their teachers from special schools, integrated schools, mainstream
schools in Ireland and Belgium. In addition an adapted form
of the questionnaire was administered to a control group of
sighted students.
