Hi listers, It is good to be back on list after being away for a few years. I was recently approved and have been enjoying the helpful information.
I’m sure Aira has been discussed in the past. I wanted to post the below as it would be very helpful to current blind college students. I just wish they would also offer it to blind teachers as they are also learning fast how to run on line teaching. Also, if you are planning to join Aira for more than the free 5 minute calls be sure to go through a current user so that you both get additional minutes. Here is the part of the post for college students. Aira is the popular app that connects a trained sighted person to assist a blind person with tasks. I am posting part of a email message below that offers free service to blind college students for the rest of the semester. If you know a student please share as this could be a big help when learning new on line distance learning software. Now if only they offered it to blind teachers as well! One other note. If you are thinking about joining Aira go through a current blind user and both of you will get free minutes to use. Eric Caron Free Offer - College Students in Need of Aira We know that many universities and colleges are rapidly shifting to distance learning. We’ve heard that some materials and software being used are inaccessible so we will be offering free Aira for any college student for the remainder of the spring semester ending in May 2020. If you know of a student who could benefit from Aira for their distance learning, please email supp...@aira.io <mailto:supp...@aira.io> for more information -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
