Hi all: The below message is from a colleague. If people could write me privately regarding this matter, I would appreciate it. I know this topic has been discussed on list before, and so am trying to minimize list traffic.

You can send the reply either to me or to him whatever is easy... Anne -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SIGCSE-members] UML and a blind student Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 09:22:39 -0400 From: Russell Bjork <Russell.Bjork@xxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: Russell Bjork <Russell.Bjork@xxxxxxxxxx> To: SIGCSE-members@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Colleagues: This fall I am teaching a course that uses UML extensively. One of my students is blind. Is anyone aware of a tool that automatically converts UML diagrams [ or any line drawing, for that matter ] to a braille form? Better yet, is anyone is aware of an approach that would facilitate a blind person getting the "big picture" that a UML diagram conveys to a sighted person? Thanks. You can reply to me personally, and I'll summarize to the list. Russell C.
