Hello, I am one of the developers of the Internet based courses at Birkbeck College, London, one of which - Principles of Protein Structure - makes extensive use of molecular visualisation software (Jmol and to some extent Rasmol). We have a student on this course this year who has quite severe repetitive strain injury and finds using his hands extremely painful. He uses voice recognition software but is having great difficulty getting this to work with the visualisation programs we use. They are, as you can guess, an integral part of the course. I would be very interested to know of experiences any of you have had of the use of molecular visualisation software - either these packages, or others - by people with limited use of their hands - so we can figure out how we can help him best. We don't want to lose a bright and motivated student... Many thanks for your help, Best wishes Dr. Clare Sansom c.s...@ma...
