A Virtual Logo Keyboard for People with Motor Disabilities

By Norte, Stephane; Lobo, Fernando G.; ITiCSE ’07 - Proceedings of the 12th Annual SIGCSE Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education,
Publication Date: 2007

Article presents the virtual Logo Keyboard, created to help people with motor impairments to program using the Logo programming language. The Logo Keyboard can be used with a Logo interpreter such as MicroWorlds Pro, UCBLogo, or MSWLogo. Interaction with the keyboard begins with a touch on an assistive device (mouse, switch, or keyboard). The message is sent to the Logo Keyboard and the chosen Logo command is sent to the command window where it is executed by the Logo interpreter. The results of usability tests conducted with 3 children are discussed.
