Auditory-Technological Enhancement Examples:
1. Data Analysis: All Activities
• Goal: Computing allows researchers to analyze, visualize and draw
conclusions from large data sets.
• Curricular Barrier: Graphical representations were visual, and screen
reader software did not reliably make menus navigable. Often, graph
output could not be understood.
• Enhancement: Glance, a web-based tool, is designed so that students
can listen to data representations for bar, line, and scatterplot charts.
Students can collect and enter their own data or upload a comma
delimited file (like Excel).

2. Robotics: Building Supports
• Goal: Robots must be carefully designed and crafted for them to work
as intended.
• Curricular Barrier:
The LEGO kit has over 600 pieces. It was
challenging to locate specific ones quickly, which made iterative robot
design and building slow and challenging.
