Bob Disher, technology specialist at Oregon School for the Blind, asked if we would like to visit as a group. I think that could be an excellent thing to do, but I have a lot of questions about how and when to do so, and of course I will need to know how interested CIS 422/522 students are in such a field trip. And of course there are the practical issues of transportation and paying for it (e.g., if we rent one or more vans for a field trip).
Regarding scheduling, I can think of three plausible times to go:
- As soon as possible
- Mid-term, when we have initial prototypes to show off, so we can solicit feedback and ideas
- At or near the end of the term, when we have more to show off (but feedback and ideas are more for future developers)
My initial thought is that (a) trying to go right away is probably hopeless ... the earliest we could organize it is mid term and (b) a term is so short that we would probably get most out of it at the end, perhaps Monday or Wednesday of dead week. Those are just initial thoughts, though ... let's talk about it a bit in class Monday.
