Abstract

The Italian National Research Council’s Institute for Educational Technology and the David Chiossone Institute for the Blind have carried out a joint study that seeks to define criteria for evaluating the suitability of educational software in meeting the needs of the visually impaired.

As a result, we have been able to define a series of characteristics related to analysis and method.
