----- Original Message ----- From: "John Michael Hodgson" <jmhodgson1@UCLAN.AC.UK> To: <EASI@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU> Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 10:55 AM Subject: Animation for Access Hi All I am interested to discover any research which deals with the use of animation to help overcome the type of disabilities which limit access to text-based learning resources. I suppose I am considering those people who have personal circumstances which might affect their mastery of written language. For example, those people who have been deaf from birth and possibly, some students with specific learning disabilities. Current discussion seems to focus around text reading as the only key to accessibility; which is not surprising given the traditional emphasis on the written word in education. I am interested to find research which helps establish whether or not there is any advantage in using animation as an additional tool for accessibility. Can anyone help me out? Or at least point me in the right direction?
