As an experiment, I tried to use the reader porvided on the website to see how it would feel to be visually impaired while participating in an online class. Interestingly, the reader kept stopping before reaching the end of each page. This helped me to understand how frustrating it would be to have a disability and to need to rely on techonologies to assist me in succeeding. If I had not had the use of my eyes, I would not have known that the reader was cutting off some of the content and woudl not have known how to navigate to the next page of the course content. I now have a new udnerstanding of the difficulties that a student with a disability would face.
