ADVANCED BRAILLE

The course is designed for persons who need more advanced instruction on braille Nemeth Code for Math and Science notation in curricula appropriate for the middle school through college settings. Participants must be familiar with the basics of transcribing simple arithmetic in Nemeth Code. The course consists of three online sessions with additional assignments to be completed independently between. Participants will have activities for independent and group work via video conferencing and will apply their knowledge as they read, write, and proofread braille math and science materials. Students will use a computer with 6-key input and Perky Duck to produce braille materials. Coursework will include examples following current BANA recommendations for the use of Nemeth in UEB materials.
