Profs. Alan Foley and Joanna Masingila attended and presented at the Mobile Education Alliance Symposium and Commit Fair in Washington, DC on October 15-16, 2013 on their work with supporting students with visual impairments through the use of mobile devices (e.g., iPad mini with built-in screen reader). Their presentation was one of a handful on the use of mobile technologies as assistive technologies. Intel committed to providing several tablet devices and they hope to get further commitments from other funders.
