Visually Impaired Children Kit for Inclusive Education

Objectif

Vickie is intended to develop a learning environment for the inclusion of visually impaired students and pupils (VISP) in mainstream education. Vickie will provide services for three categories of end-users:
(1) learning utilities for the VISPs themselves, including simple tools like schoolbooks and notebooks, timetables, e-mail,
(2) editing tools for the creation of accessible documents, making possible for sighted teachers to create documents that can be printed or read either on screen, tactile or audio device,
(3) tools for augmenting standard electronic documents (provided by publishers) in order to make them accessible by the VISPs, intended to professionals working in transcription centres.
VICKIE will develop an architecture making possible co-operative work over a network in order to strengthen the community of teachers and VISPs. VICKIE aims at the effective commercialisation of a product helping the visually impaired into the digital age.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Three categories of end-users are considered in VICKIE:
the VISPs themselves,
their teachers,
and professionals bringing VISPs specific support they may need.
The needs of these three categories will drive the project. A detailed study of the users' needs will be conducted from the beginning of the project, involving organisations having a wide experience in the field and a national audience, in 3 countries.
This study will particularly focus on assistive technologies and survey the emerging technology in distance and co-operative learning. Technical development will be split into:
- a software architecture running a network of learning workstations. It will be open as to allow the upgrading of services through the VICKIE network. New services will be easily added.
- Services to end-users. Basics should be: schoolbooks, notebooks, timetable, email, and automated transcription, advanced editing tools, for instance. The editing tools will be used for the creation of accessible material. They will allow sighted teachers to easily create documents that can be printed or read either on screen, tactile or audio devices. Also, more professional editing tools will be used for augmenting standard electronic documents to make them accessible by the VISPs.
- A user Interface respecting Design for All principles so that different groups of users may access the same functionality, using a variety of I/O, such as Braille or speech devices. It will offer adaptable features to adapt progressively the skills of users. Sample contents will be created for demonstrations. These examples will represent a variety of learning situations. They will be designed for the needs of multi-cultural contexts. All the technical developments will be conducted according an iterative development model, associating end-users at the different steps of the process. The effective commercialisation of a final product will be a permanent concern throughout the project.
