Sight-Reading Braille Modules

DCMP (Described and Captioned Media Program) · Self-paced · Online

Professional Studies · CEUs not stated

A set of self-paced modules teaching sight-reading braille, worked through in sequence with assessments using a standard keyboard: the uncontracted set covers the alphabet, capitalisation, punctuation and numbers, and the contracted set covers wordsigns and groupsigns. Useful to interpreters working with DeafBlind students or consumers who read braille. The provider publishes three separate figures rather than one total, so the value is recorded as unknown: the uncontracted modules are approved for 0.6 General Studies, contracted part 1 for 1.2 Professional Studies, and a contracted part 2 worth 0.8 Professional Studies is listed as coming soon. The category here records the larger Professional Studies share; anyone needing General Studies should take the uncontracted set. DCMP states it is an approved RID CMP sponsor, and access is free with a free eLearner account.

Sight-Reading Braille Modules: Uncontracted Braille (Grade 1)

DCMP (Described and Captioned Media Program) · Self-paced · Online

0.6 CEU · General Studies

A self-paced track of seven online lessons teaching sight-reading of uncontracted braille — the alphabet, capitalisation, punctuation and numbers — delivered through DCMP's virtual classroom. It suits interpreters and educators who work with DeafBlind or low-vision students and want to read a student's braille rather than rely on someone else to. Two things to know: the same page also hosts a Contracted Braille Part 1 track credited 1.2 PS and a Part 2 marked coming soon at 0.8 PS, so check which track you are enrolling in; and the ACVREP figure of six hours published alongside is that body's own unit and not an RID CEU amount.

Sound and Fury Workshop

DCMP (Described and Captioned Media Program) · Self-paced · Online

0.15 CEU · Professional Studies

Free, like everything in DCMP's learning centre, though the course itself sits behind a free eLearner account.
