It is rare to Joyce to come to class without some physical aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce&nbsp;is now &nbsp;trying to find some tactile materials for the student to use. &nbsp;She has searched on the web, thinking that surely, someone has made these&nbsp;already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDecades ago, we used to have gypsum models. I\u2019m pretty sure that I saw these kinds of things as as studemt. I haven\u2019t found any though, and I figured that it would be just quicker if I just make themselves myself out of clay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The models shown here are for her lecture on rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe one I\u2019m holding is a flood plain, with a meandering river, levees to the side, an ox-bow lake and a cutoff meander and a yazoo stream, because the levees prevent it from reaching the main stream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce came to the Discovery Centre to use the 3D scanners and printers. &nbsp;The clay models are delicate, and break easily when handled. &nbsp;3D plastic 3D prints of the clay models will be durable when handled by the student, and if she every gets other blind students, copies can simply be printed for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce\u2019s venture is&nbsp;another great successful collaboration with the Paul Menton Centre, who is paying for the 3D prints . &nbsp;Jason Goveas of the Paul Mentor Centre is also experimenting with <strong>tactile diagrams<\/strong> for Joyce\u2019s course. &nbsp;Using a diagram of rivers printed in black, &nbsp;Jason will photocopy the diagram using a toner that builds up in layers, becoming a tactile surface. &nbsp;Braille labels will be added to the diagram to describe its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to both Joyce Lundberg and Jason Goveas for contributing to the continuing accessibility of all our programs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/discoverycentre\/2015\/geography-miniature-3d-landscapes\/\">Originally published by The Discovery Centre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accessibility, Geography and Miniature 3D Landscapes Joyce Lundberg has taught GEOG 1010 (Global Environmental Systems Principles) before, but this is her first year having a a totally blind student in her class. &nbsp;This course in Physical Geography is a subject that is extremely visual.
