Subject: [access-uk] Call for Participants : A study of Sighted and Visually
impaired people performing joint web searches
Dear all,
We invite you to participate in our study of Sighted and Visually impaired
people performing joint web searches. Our study aims to identify the challenges
faced when visually impaired and sighted users search the web together for some
joint purpose. Ultimately we aim to understand better how to design technology
to support team-based web searches and to contribute towards the integration of
visually impaired people in the workplace. We would be grateful if you can take
part in this study, which consist of one session of three to four hours long,
all participants will be paid at the rate of 7 pounds per hour, and all travel
costs will be covered.
Skills required:
We are seeking JAWS screen-reader users, with experience in using Internet
Explorer, Google (or any commonly used windows-based web browser).
Bring a friend:
Because the study is about joint searching, if you have a friend or family
member who is familiar with searching the web and is generally comfortable with
technology, you could bring them along as your partner in the joint session,
they will be paid at the same rate as yourself.
The setting:
The visually impaired participant will be using a PC keyboard, JAWS screen
reader on Windows 7 and Internet Explorer version 11. The sighted participant
will be using a Windows 8 laptop with Internet Explorer.
Location:
The sessions usually take place at Queen Mary, University of London, which is
just East of the City, but we are happy to travel to your home or workplace if
it is in the Greater London area.
Thank you very much for your assistance to perform this study. If this is of
interest to you, please reply, saying where you would prefer to perform the
study, some dates you are available,and whether you wish to provide your own
partner. Please email dena.althani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
