 >Please forward this to as many people who might be willing and able to
 >help us!!

 >Fill out the Feel Free Survey before March 25th and be one of the ten
 >winners of an oversized tactile world map!

 >Objective research is needed to better understand how tactile graphics
 >can be best used for learning, and how they can be read and
 >comprehended most efficiently and effectively.

 >Your expertise and help is needed.  If you are totally blind or have
 >less than five percent of vision remaining, your participation is
 >requested.  Or, if you know someone who fits the criteria and may be
 >willing to help, please tell them about the survey.

 >Fill out our survey by clicking on the link below.  It will take you
 >approximately 15 to 20 minutes.  If you have problems completing the
 >survey on the web, please reply to this email and we will be happy to
 >provide you with a text version of the survey (by request, surveys can
 >also be completed over the telephone).  Everyone who completes a
 >survey will be eligible to win an oversized tactile world map.

 >The feel Free Project is a scientific research project aimed at
 >developing teaching methods and materials to help blind people read
 >and understand tactile graphics even if they do not read braille.  The
 >project, running from November 2003 to August 2004, is carried out by
 >Suzanne van den Bercken, student in educational sciences at Utrecht
 >University (the Netherlands).

 >Tactile graphics teaching materials should be designed to best suit
 >the needs of those who use them.  This research is needed to better
 >understand those needs, as well as user preferences in reading tactile
 >graphics.

 >We need to know your thoughts about tactile graphics.  Do you need
 >them? Have you ever used tactile graphics? For what do you use them?
 >Where do you use them and when do you use them? Please, provide us
 >with your knowledge and your point of view regarding tactile graphics
 >and help us to develop teaching materials that fit to your needs.
