• Resumen

  • The PhET Interactive Simulations project has engaged in a new initiative to develop inclusive features for the suite of PhET simulations. These features are designed to increase the accessibility of the simulations for students and teachers, with and without disabilities. This communication summarizes one of the invited papers to the Interactive Visualizations for Chemistry Teaching and Learning ACS CHED Committee on Computers in Chemical Education online ConfChem held from May 8 to June 4, 2015. The resulting discussion brought up ideas regarding the blending of 3D models with simulations, and the potential benefits and areas of research for sonification within simulations.
