Subject: RE Research Project COMBINE: COMputing & Blindness IN Education
To Whomsoever it May Concern,
I am an ICT and Computing teacher and researcher from Leicester. Although
previously my research activities have centred on arts education for students
who are blind and visually impaired (please see my website
http://www.blindnessandarts.com
I have recently started a new research project, investigating the computer
teaching of students who are blind and visually impaired.
The project, named COMBINE (COMputing and Blindness IN Education) involves the
interviewing of early blind and late blind computer programmers - these can be
web designers as well as computer programmers - to discover how they
conceptualise programs in their minds. For example, Ho do programmers imagine
an icon placed on a screen? How do programmers conceptualise text boxes and
radio buttons in a "visual" language? How do programmers conceptualise
programming a resizeable webpage?
As part of this project I was hoping to interview a number of blind and
visually impaired people who program computers in order to develop case
studies of individual's experiences. This is initially through an extended
questionnaire sent as an email attachment, and then as a telephone/Skype
interview.
If you would be willing to participate in this research, please reply to this
message.
Thankyou in advance for your time.
Faithfully
Simon Hayhoe
