Module+2

===**Module 2: Low Vision Access Technology ** ===


**Projects due for Module 2:** Activity 1: Zoomtext Project due January 29th at midnight

This module spans 2 weeks, from Tuesday, January 19th to Friday, January 29th.  First please read Presley & D’Andrea, pp 79-100; 120-132. Also, look through relevant sections of AccessWorld (this should be a useful resource for all of you, and especially those on A Team--see below) Then, secure access to Zoomtext. You can download a free trial version at www.aisquared.com. You will need access to Zoomtext to complete your Zoomtext project (due January 29th at midnight) so be sure that you have access to it early in the module. When you have access to Zoometext, you can work on and complete the project. (Project information is contained in this folder.) Throughout the module, you should participate in the Zoomtext discussion boards. There will be two: one that relates to questions/issues with using the technologies and the other that relates to teaching and learning the technologies. Finally, during the second week of the module Group A (now the A Team) will post resources/information/reviews about low vision access technology on the wiki. More information about that will be available closer to the time that the wiki is up and running. If you have questions, please post on the "Questions about the Course" forum so that all can learn.

Below is a link to You Tube that provides a five minute video demonstration of how to use ZoomText. []
