HIMS BrailleSense productivity device proficiency assessment page.

Evaluates student competency with the HIMS BrailleSense family of refreshable braille notetakers (BrailleSense Polaris, BrailleSense 6, etc.) across 52 skills organized into 12 functional domains. The BrailleSense assessment structure mirrors BrailleNote to allow cross-device skill comparison.

Device Family Context: The BrailleSense is a portable braille notetaker with refreshable braille display, perkins-style keyboard, and integrated productivity software. It runs proprietary HIMS firmware and includes word processing, email, web browsing, media playback, and educational applications.

Assessment Phases (12 domains, 52 skills):

  • Phase 1: Device fundamentals (layout, setup, navigation, file management, core apps)
  • Phase 2: Productivity suite (calendar, email, web, calculator, word processor)
  • Phase 3: Advanced apps (presentations, code editor, third-party integration, braille I/O)
  • Phase 4: Cloud integration and advanced file management
  • Phase 5: Collaboration, export/import, printing, backup workflows
  • Phase 6: App installation, updates, troubleshooting
  • Phase 7: Automation (custom shortcuts, macros, scripting)
  • Phase 8: Peripheral connectivity (Bluetooth, USB, displays, audio/video)
  • Phase 9: Security, user accounts, parental controls, network settings
  • Phase 10: Speech customization (TTS settings, voice profiles, languages)
  • Phase 11: Device maintenance (firmware, diagnostics, logs, support, warranty)
  • Phase 12: Community resources (online help, forums, feedback channels)

Data Management and Report Generation:

  • Scores captured via PhaseScoreField components (integer 0–4 typical)
  • Persisted to normalized schema via Database.insertAssessmentResults(int, int, java.lang.String[], int[])
  • JSON export: StudentDataFiles/<student>/Sessions/BrailleSense/BrailleSense-<sessionId>-<timestamp>.json
  • Phase-grouped time-series plots: plots/BrailleSense-<sessionId>-<date>-P<N>.png (12 phase groups)
  • Markdown and HTML reports with embedded plots and color-coded legends

The shared JLineGraph visualizes recent session trends grouped by phase prefix. This page operates on static student/date parameters and does not implement listener interfaces.
