A new class is helping visually impaired students navigate smartphones despite being unable to see the screen. Students learn to use the devices through audio guidance, which directs finger placement for activating functions. Despite the challenge of operating without visual feedback, the students enthusiastically practice the newly-learned techniques. The class focuses on enabling independence and digital inclusion for the visually impaired. By relying on sound and tactile exploration, students gain confidence in using smartphone technology. This innovative approach empowers them to access information and connect with others more easily. The program demonstrates the potential of assistive technology to bridge the digital divide.
