I was wondering if anyone has seen this strategy used in lecture videos in
online courses that have a heavy spatial component, like geography:

Instead of trying to awkwardly insert detailed audio descriptions in a
video, an instructor could provide students with tactile graphics or models
of the things being displayed, and reference those in the audio
descriptions or timed text track with something like "graphic 4
displayed."

Anybody come across this technique before?

Rob,

I have not, but this is quite interesting to me. Can you please provide me with samples or more information on this? = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = . I would love to explore it with you too.
