Read the first 6 ASL Technology & Assistive Tools in Instruction flashcards as text

  1. Which assistive technology supports Deaf-Blind individuals and combines tactile communication with ASL?

    Answer: ProTactile (PT) communication

    ProTactile (PT) communication is a tactile method used with Deaf-Blind individuals that adapts ASL into a hands-on format, and ASL instructors should be aware of this emerging language form.

  2. A TTY (Teletypewriter) is primarily used by:

    Answer: Deaf individuals to communicate over telephone lines via typed text

    A TTY allows Deaf users to type messages over a phone line, though it has largely been replaced by VRS and text messaging, ASL instructors should understand its historical and continued use.

  3. When using digital ASL dictionaries (e.g., Handspeak, ASL-LEX) as instructional tools, instructors should caution students that these resources:

    Answer: May show regional or individual variation and should be verified with Deaf community members

    Digital ASL dictionaries can show regional variation and may not capture all dialectal differences, so students should cross-reference with Deaf community members for authentic usage.

  4. Automatic Sign Language Recognition (ASLR) technology in educational settings is best used as:

    Answer: A supplementary practice tool, not a replacement for instructor feedback

    Current ASLR technology has limitations in accuracy and context sensitivity, making it suitable as a practice supplement but not a replacement for qualified human instructor evaluation.

  5. Which feature of video annotation software makes it particularly valuable for ASL instructor feedback?

    Answer: The ability to add time-stamped comments directly to specific moments in a student's signing video

    Time-stamped video annotation allows ASL instructors to pinpoint exact moments in a student's recorded signing to provide precise, contextualized feedback on handshape, movement, or facial grammar.

  6. Screen recording tools used for ASL student submissions should meet which standard to protect student privacy?

    Answer: Comply with FERPA by storing recordings on secure, institution-controlled platforms

    FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) requires that student video submissions be stored on secure, institution-controlled systems to protect the privacy of educational records.
