Third, Android phones provide all the hardwareand connection features needed for the project. Specifically, GPS positioning will be used fordetermining the bus location and for trip planning. Android phones have built-in GPS receiverthus reducing the need for relying on cellular networks for location information, which is muchless accurate than GPS. In addition, Java classes for location services via GPS signal areavailable through the Android API.The mobile application is

Thetools of choice have become highly visual integrated development environments (IDE). Visualmodeling languages such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) are a major element of programunderstanding and design. All of these tools and methods are problematic for a blind student.This paper describes the challenges we faced as both the instructor and student as we adaptedtools, material, and assignments in an object-oriented programming course.1 IntroductionIn the fall of 2013, Jordyn, a co-author of this paper, enrolled in an intermediate-level course inobject-oriented programming and modern development

For example, activities in the summer program have extended to coursecollaborations during the academic year. Senior-level (i.e., “capstone”) design teams from thethree principal universities have collaborated on projects during the academic year. These joint-projects face all the challenges of typical capstone projects with the additional logistical andcultural issues of international collaboration. They are an excellent opportunity for our students.The institutions have also benefitted from first-hand experience with new programs.
