Abstract:
Students with Visual Impairment (VI) face many challenges in learning mathematics due to its visual nature. Digital-based learning technologies have reformed the mathematics learning experience for VI students. We collected, analyzed, and critiqued mathematics learning technologies for VI students developed between January 2010 and December 2020. We further classified apps by the domain, interactive features, and accessibility approaches to examine the teaching, learning, and assessment. We found that the audio-based and interactive e-learning technology may be helpful to improve the mathematical skills of VI students.
