The TIDE MATHS Project: Publications

Deliverables

'Deliverables' are documents required to be produced by the project and delivered to the TIDE Office. Most of them are available publically and can be obtained from the Lead Partner.

• D1: Problem Analysis:A Formative Evaluation of the Mathematical and Computer Access Problems as Experienced by Visually Impaired Students, Geert Bormans and Helen Cahill
• D2: Usability Analysis, Helen Cahill and John McCarthy
• D3: Development Recommendations, Helen Cahill, John McCarthy, Robert Stevens, Alistair Edwards, Gerhard Weber, Mark Elsom-Cook and Gilles Marichal
• D4: Specification Documents, Gerhard Weber, Robert Stevens, Bart Bauwens, Mark Elsom-Cook and Gilles Marichal

Sounds and interaction

Some of these papers relate to the Mathtalk Project but many of the concepts were incorporated into Maths.
