Technology Assisted Reading Assessment

Student Comments on HTML 5 students reported HTML was better –“because it is easier and faster to navigate (performing the find command made things a lot simpler unlike the braille where I had to keep browsing through many pages and numbered paragraphs)” –“because both reading the passage and answering the questions was a lot easier than the braille. I did not use the audio.” –“I could finish more quickly and understand what I was reading.” –“some was read aloud and if there was a word you could not pronounce it would pronounce it right. It was faster than I could read the braille. 1 student reported HTML was worse –“I couldn’t understand it as well”
