Texas Text
Continued from Page 1
At the present time, TTE in
cludes approximately 450 students
and has registered 250 books to
their online database.
Before the program was devel
oped, students with various dis
abilities had to rely on cassette-tape
versions of necessary textbooks.
The process of recording and dis
tributing these tapes required long
hours of preparation and were of
ten of poor quality.
“I had the idea of transferring
these textbooks online. E-texts had
been used before for the visually
impaired, but it wasn’t traditional,”
Sweeney said.
At the beginning of the program,
Sweeney scanned one page at a time.
Although it started out time con
suming, the method quickly turned
into an effective combination.
Once the texts started to go on
line, Sweeney began speaking with
other universities around Texas
about similar programs.
“I started talking to these other
universities and found out that
they were attempting similar ideas,
and that we were duplicating a lot
of the same books,” Sweeney said.
“We were wasting a lot of effort
working separately.”
With the help of Toby Boenig,
project coordinator for TTE,
Sweeney sent outlines of the pro
gram and invitations to colleges
and universities around Texas.
“We sent out 100 invitations, and
we got an enormous response,”
Sweeney said. “We already have 25
schools online with us. Southwest
Texas State [University] was the first
to respond to our invitation.”
Legal issues are a concern for
Sweeney and Boenig.
“We are working off of a 1996
Copyright Amendment and Section
121 of the Copyright Code,”
Sweeney said. "A&M is the first
university to create and organize a
program like this specifically for
students with disabilities. I think
other universities are hesitant
about this type of program because
of the possible legal ramifications.”

Andrea Pool, communication

has placed health educators in
various rural parts of the state
and uses TTVN as a learning tool.
“The rural areas do not al

we help them with the telev
