Over the past year Elizabeth Jones has spent time with other teachers and graphic design interns to develop curriculum for the IVEO learning system that could be implemented throughout schools.
IVEO provides interactive math and science solutions to help improve learning through touch, sound, and sight. It is particularly aimed towards students with disabilities. Although it is not made specifically for blind users, IVEO is ideal for these students as it produces tactile images and can include braille if that fits the student’s needs.
After much work throughout the summer and fall, Liz Jones finally got everything ready to test IVEO within the school system and document its success. Through working with a local school, ViewPlus hopes to fine tune the materials and technologies before they are released on a larger scale.
Currently, Liz goes to the school once a week for about 30 minutes. During this time she loads the day’s lessons onto the students’ computers and lets the students go through the lessons by touching, watching, and listening to IVEO.
With the information learned from this trial, ViewPlus hopes to further improve IVEO and prepare it for use within school systems such as the one Liz attended.
