Hi
well I'm going to argue that it seems that the BBC had not done enough
internal research into the iplayer before its launch. I wonder just how
much internal consultation was done with blind and partially sighted BBC
employees who could have tested out a version of the player on the BBC's
own
intranet before it went out live in the first place. To my way of looking
at things like this, it's a case of knocking down the practice fence. If
the matter of a consultation and a road testing program was not done in
the
first place, then that's dreadful particularly as the Corporation is
supposed to be committed to acessibility.
Of course I wouldn't expect anyone to comment on here publicly in the
event
that it might cause a conflict of interest, but from a perspective of
someone who isn't a techy but likes playing around with things, it does
seem
to me that something fundamental was not done here from the writing of the
player in its early developmental stages.
