Description
Summary:Through the development of information technology in recent years, it is now common for lectures to involve education using PowerPoint materials and similar. Likewise, in education for the visually impaired, the presentation of lecture materials involves a lecture focused on oral explanation with the use of compensating information through information technology; however, the lecturer is unable to confirm which part of the materials the students are accessing, and conversely it is not easy to direct the students to access the part on which the lecturer is currently focusing. Here, in this paper, I present an experimental software through which lecture materials are distributed to students via a TCP/IP network, in which the lecturer can instruct the students which items to focus on and the students can immediately confirm these through screen readers.
