چکیده
Utilizing invisible 2-dimensional codes and digital audio players with 2-dimensional code scanner, two types of new auditory testing media were developed in our previous works. This paper presents the result of experimental evaluation of the new testing media. The result shows that, in addition to existing special arrangements such as large-print-format test and braille-format test, the introduction of the new auditory testing media enables all test-takers with print disabilities, including the newly blind, the severely partially sighted and the dyslexic, to take the National Center Test for University Admissions.
