Remote Access Graphing Calculator - Visually Impaired

描述（由申请人提供）：许多视障学生在学习数学方面有困难。缺乏更高的数学技能限制了许多视障人士的教育和就业机会，因为许多职业需要更多的技术技能。远程访问图形科学交互式计算器的目标 （RAGSIC-VIP）是设计，开发和测试一个基于计算机的系统，使视障学生和教师能够远程访问数学。访问是通过网络，所以学生和教师可以在不同的位置时，使用RAGSIC VIP。这套系统是为低视力人士量身定做的，因为它可以放大图形和文字。 这项研究是由Automated Functions，Inc. (AFI)他是适应性领域的领导者 援助技术。RAGSlC-VIP将提供一个工具，使视障学生更容易在高等数学中取得成功（即，代数I、代数II、三角学、微积分）。该系统将为成千上万的低视力学生提供一种手段，使他们能够在高等数学中取得成功，从而有资格填补不断增加的技术工作和教育职位。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many visually impaired students have difficulty learning mathematics. The lack of higher math skills limits educational and job opportunities for many visually impaired people since numerous professions are requiring more technical skills. The objective of the Remote Access Graphing Scientific Interactive Calculator (RAGSIC-VIP) is to design, develop, and test a computer based system which enables remote access to math by visually impaired students and teachers. The access is via a network so the student and teacher may be at different locations when using RAGSIC VIP. This system is tailored for low vision people since it will magnify graphs and text. This research is being conducted by Automated Functions, Inc. (AFI) who is a leader in the field of adaptive aid technology. RAGSlC-VIP will provide a tool which make it easier for the visually impaired student to succeed in higher math (i.e., Algebra I, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Calculus). This system will provide a means for thousands of low vision students to succeed in higher math and therefore be qualified to fill the ever increasing technical job and educational positions.
