Textual description of persona 3

Amanda

Age: 27
Learning Style: Auditory
Electronics Experience: Brand New
Identity: Low Vision
Braille Proficiency: Not Fluent

Quote: “I’ve done ok with my coursework so far, but I want more options.”

Goals: Learn through touch to augment auditory learning; understand spatial relationships in circuits.

Frustrations: Fine detail is harder to perceive. The schematics in their class’s blog are difficult for them to figure out independently.

Bio: Amanda is new to an interactive media graduate program at a large university. With low vision, graphics are challenging to discern at times. This includes the electronics diagrams in their Intro to Electronics course. They often need additional instructor support to understand how the diagrams work.
