(Q4) Image and Sound:
Is color the only way information is presented when using this program?
In this software, students are launched into an exotic underwater experience. As
the students navigate through different coral reef laboratories, they have the
opportunity to view colorful photographs of the coral reefs, plants and
organisms. Despite the detail and information contained in this software,
color is often used as the only way to convey information in the labs. In
addition, the choice of dark colors makes the program difficult for most
users to access. Therefore, it is important to consider if software is
accommodating to low vision users.
