Audio concepts maps for virtual rehabilitation of the blind

We present AudiodMC, an audio-based concept map design program for blind users aimed at virtual training and rehabilitation. We analyze the stages involved in the design of AudiodMC from a user-centered design perspective, considering user involvement and usability testing. The results show a high level of user acceptance, identifying key sound characteristics that help blind learners to learn concept codification and selection skills in order to mentally organize concepts and thus design concept maps through sound for meaningful learning.
