Abstract

This chapter introduces the conceptualization of an educational task tailored for students who have visual impairments, utilizing audio notification and a voice-responsive interface. The design process employed the activity-centered design (ACD) methodology, which centers around the users and their specific requirements and context. This iterative approach facilitated the creation of a prototype device called “The Surfer Pad,” specifically engineered to aid individuals with visual disabilities in navigating audio-based activities such as audio instructions, audiobooks, and thought-provoking queries. However, further investigation is necessary for future endeavors, including 1) conducting evaluations of The Surfer Pad with people with visual disabilities, and 2) assessing the listening comprehension skills of individuals with visual impairments while fostering critical thinking and the analysis of audio content.
