Evoldir folks, Many thanks to those who responded to my question regarding teaching material for blind students in General Biology. Below are ideas that we use/will try this semester here at Wichita State, followed by links provided by the EvolDir community. A general trend seems to be a lack of existing biology materials, even fewer for university level, and fewer still for evolution/ecology topics. There is an opportunity for someone with 3D printing design experience to really be an angel here. Not that I believe in angels. Thanks and Happy New Year! James Beck Wichita State University www.becklaboratory.com/James ---- Quick Draw tactile Paper ($3.50 per page) raises up right along your pen lines. Its a good tool for relating graphs/microscopic images one-on-one with students: shop.aph.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_Quick-Draw%20Paper_38396074P_10001_11051 In a pinch, modeling clay is another option for making one-on-one tactile learning tools. This book of tactile and brailled graphics is quite basic (designed for high school) but useful as a starting point for many general biology topics: http://shop.aph.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_Life%20Science%20Tactile%20Graphics%20-%20ON%20SALE_1-08840-00P_10001_11051 Were also going to attempt 3D printing of some items this semester. The thingiverse website has open access designs, but there appear to be relatively few for general biology, and most of these are cellular/molecular biology. Some examples: thingiverse.com/thing:1259352 thingiverse.com/thing:202079 thingiverse.com/thing:956013 thingiverse.com/thing:2695890 thingiverse.com/thing:1565917 hingiverse.com/thing:714312 Thingiverse also has an education section, but I havent explored it: thingiverse.com/education Below are links provided by EvolDir users for various tips, exercises, and tactile teaching tools.
