I would also like to point out that more and more tests are via the computer on blackboard. This is the way the universities are moving so YES our sighted peers are definitely using computers for tests. Universities now days are pushing professors toward the digital age. In fact, this past year we had two professors use podcasts in their class as well as having more activities online. This was not a distance education course either.
There also new devices being used across the country that are similar to a tv remote that are being used to conduct in-class quizzes and pose questions when in a big lecture hall. Blind students need as many advantages as they can come up with. Using the BN for tests is only the tip of the ice berg.

Sighted people usually don't use cell phones or pdas for tests or any kind of schoolwork. They usually use the plain old pencil and pen. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karyn Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 8:49 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braille note on testing > Mike, you still have the cheating factor as well as the fact that sighted > students are not allowed to use computers, calculators or PDAs for > testing. > That being the case, we should not be allowed either.
