The STEM ASL Video Dictionary is an online dictionary that provides technical signs for vocabulary used in the discipline of Information Technology. This dictionary is designed for students and/or teachers who are deaf or hard of hearing and use ASL and are in STEM fields. Since the vocabularies of STEM disciplines are often not used in the common vernacular of the ASL community, interpreters, teachers and tutors are forced to create technical signs for these words or concepts ad hoc, which may result in signs that lack both semantic accuracy and specificity. In educational settings, these technical signs may also be different from one course to the next, and from one instructor to the next. It was developed by a professor at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
