Research Abstract |
Using invisible 2-dimensional codes and a digital audio player with a 2-dimensional code scanner, we developed a multimodal test with printed characters and sound. The result of the four times of experimental evaluations shows that, in addition to existing special accommodations such as large-print-format test and braille-format test, the introduction of the multimodal test and the formerly developed auditory test with document-structure diagrams enables almost all test-takers with print disabilities to take tests as the National Center Test for University Admissions. The introduction of the two new auditory testing media also enables test administrators to keep the reasonable accommodations of the treaty of the United Nations for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and doesn't make unreasonable economical burden to the test administrators since we developed an integrated production system of special format tests and the production cost is very low.
