Lanie Molinar Carmelo<p><strong>Really wishing there was a good textbook reading app for someone with both visual and cognitive <a href="https://allovertheplace.ca/tags/disabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabilities</span></a>.</strong><br><br>I just started a new course at Colorado Christian University, and this week's reading is <strong>7 chapters</strong> from a book called <em>Introducing Christian Doctrine</em>—which is pretty heavy stuff. I've been struggling just to get through the first chapter.</p><p>I tried reading in <strong>Word with JAWS</strong>, but quick navigation keys keep getting disabled, and adding comments isn’t very accessible. So I switched to the <strong>ePub version in Bookworm</strong>, which lets me add bookmarks, named bookmarks, and comments. That’s been a huge help.</p><p>For notes, I’m using <strong>Joplin</strong>, which works well for organizing thoughts in Markdown. And when I hit a sentence I don’t understand—like <em>“propounded dogmatically”</em> (what even is that?)—I just open <strong>Copilot</strong> in the browser and ask for a plain-language explanation.</p><p>It’s not perfect, but it’s working. I just wish there were tools designed with both <strong>cognitive load</strong> and <strong>screen reader accessibility</strong> in mind. Reading theology is hard enough without fighting the tech too.</p><p><em>(My degree is in computer science, but theology is part of the core curriculum.)</em></p><p><a

Ultimately, a transition to a <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/ThirdWay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThirdWay</span></a> will be mostly political &amp; there'll be a stiff opposition to it from the many vested interests involved.
