We have received funding from the National Science Foundation (grant
#HRD-0533251) to create *Tactile Mapping Software* that will be
available as a FREE download to teachers, parents, or anyone who wants
to use it. This project is entirely NON-profit and the resulting
software will only be as useful as the input we receive from you.
This survey will help us identify features that may be important to
symbolize and include in the software. We ask that you answer four short
questions, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Please send to our
email (tactmaps@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:tactmaps@xxxxxxxxxxx>). Also, please
forward this survey to anyone who may be interested in participating.
Thank You!
If you do not wish to participate, simply discard the questionnaire.
Responses will be completely anonymous; your name will not appear
anywhere on the survey. Completing and returning the questionnaire
constitutes your consent to participate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please Answer the Following Questions:
1. What is your position (OM instructor…) or reason for producing
tactile maps?
2. How long have you been producing tactile maps, using tactile maps,
or working in OM?
3. List *any and all* environmental features necessary for navigation
and should appear on tactile maps:
4. List your method(s) of tactile map production (swell paper, TIGER
embosser, collage…). If you use more than one, indicate percentage
of use of each method.
