Sažetak
Many aspects and courses that are part of the higher education system can be quite challenging for many students. Courses such as programming have been reported to be difficult by many students worldwide. In the modern age many courses that encompass new directions in science and professional work such as big data or data mining have emerged. These courses present new challenges for all students and are particularly challenging for students with disabilities, especially for visually impaired students. In this paper, the challenges of visually impaired students regarding higher education and visualization of data are presented and means and technologies for aiding visually impaired students in data visualization are discussed and elaborated. The research results about the usage of these technologies are also presented along with conclusions and comments about the possible future research directions in this area.
