We conducted a questionnaire survey of visually impaired college students at Changchun University in China and found that they had three main difficulties in class: (1) difficulty understanding technical terminology; (2) not enough time to take notes; and (3) difficulty viewing writing on the board orslides from a distance. We conducted semi-structured interviews with professors and found that visually impaired university students had three main difficulties teaching in class: (1) difficulty making students understand the concept of technical terms (the meaning of Chinese characters); (2) difficulty distinguishing between different Chinese characters that shares the same pronunciation; and (3) difficulty making students understand shapes, models, colors, or other visual cues. In this study, we created a promotional video introducing five types of applications and each of their accessibility features. After watching a promotional video, visually impaired college students at Changchun University conducted a questionnaire survey based on their disability grade (blind level 1, blind level 2, low vision level 1, and low vision level 2), and evaluated the effectiveness of each functional item during class. It was found that the students felt that they were useful for supporting their learning. In the future, based on the experimental classes, we expect that we can introduce tablet terminals into classes and improve the learning conditions in class for visually impaired university students.
