I would be interested in getting your response to using VR in the classroom
for one or more hearing impaired (deaf) students as well as LD.
It would seem someone has tried this, and I don't like to reinvent the
wheel..again.
The concept is to get the teachers involved to build a voice file, the
student brings his computer with an infra red microphone and the teacher
lectures while the the student "reads" the monitor. Sort of live
captioning. The teacher would have to repeat what other students say in
discussion. The computer user then has the lecture on disk for future
study. This could also be run through a projector so the entire class could
get visual with the auditory if necessary. The LD student could save to
computer and have it read back with some text to speech program that
highlights the word as it reads for their study time.
Or..the teacher could have the computer (if their is more than one student
in the classroom to benefit), make disks of the session and distribute to
the affected students.
Thanks for your kind assistance.
