Accessibility often concerns compatibility with third-party software in order to meet the needs of users who are disabled. The AccessLecture project seeks to transform the Apple iPad into a tool to make Math and Science class more accessible to visually impaired students. Accessing lecture material during lecture is a challenge to low vision students, in terms of the limited options that can be costly or can allow access only upon the completion of the lecture. This paper presents the techniques used to help the team gather the needs and tasks of math/science instructors and visually impaired students. The analysis of the environment, user groups and the tasks related to the course lecture were modeled in order to ascertain domain knowledge and to specify the system's requirements.

... Technology usage has been introduced with the Expanded Core Curriculum, and the use of assistive technology has been shown to be highly effective with VI students in accessing information and in the pursuit of an independent daily life (Altunay Arslantekin, 2012; Yalcin & Altunay Arslantekin, 2019). Studies in the literature support the effectiveness of assistive technology application in teaching science and mathematics since it ensures the active participation of students with VI in classes (da Mota Silveira & Martini, 2017;Koehler, Wild, & Tikkun, 2018;Ludi, Canter, Ellis, & Shrestha, 2012;Lunney, 1995;Nees & Berry, 2013;Negrete, Lisboa, Peña, Dib, & Vargas, 2020;Supalo, Humphrey, Mallouk, Wohlers, & Carlsen, 2016). Supalo et al. (2016) reported that students with VI can effectively participate in technologysupported science laboratories. ...
