I am forwarding this from our Crystallography department - if anyone has
any answer would you mind forwarding them to Clare Sansom as well as to
the list. Many thanks

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
