Hello! Camara (www.camara.ie) refurbishes old computers, sends them out to Africa and sets up learning centres. At the moment we are trying to make our Linux computers more accesible for students that are living with disabilities. After much debate, we decided to stick with the accessibity features already on Linux.
The computers, already in Africa have various versions of Ubuntu, this means that Ocra functions to various degrees in the schools. We discovered that the speech on older versions of ocra was very fast and difficult to understand So, we want to update ocra by sending out a C.D with the latest version of orca to the schools in Africa and update orca when refurbishing the computers going out. With that done, we need to train our teachers on how to update orca (for the computers already sent out) and write up a manual on how to use ocra within the classroom. This is where we'll have to call upon some help. Setting up the accessibity features is difficult for someone who has very basic computer skills. Are there any good tutorials (audio and visual) out there that we could use? Any additional info that we should be aware of? All comments/material will be much appreciated.
