[Colorado-Talk] Seeking Nonvisual Access Users for Product Feedback

[Curtis Chong]

Greetings and salutations:

 

I provide for your information a solicitation from Jim Sandstrum from the
University of Colorado, Denver, with whom I have had the pleasure of working
to evaluate the nonvisual accessibility of various certification
examinations. As the solicitation indicates, Mr. Sandstrom is seeking a
number of screen reader users to participate in gathering feedback about
exam content and a tutorial about the exam. I here provide my personal
encouragement and endorsement for Mr. Sandstrum's project. He understands
how screen access works a lot better than a lot of other sighted people with
whom I have worked in the past.

 

Anyone interested should contact Mr. Sandstrum directly at
jim.sandstrum at ucdenver.edu <mailto:jim.sandstrum at ucdenver.edu> .

 

Here is the solicitation.

 

<Begin Excerpt>

 

The Center for Inclusive Design and Engineering at the University of
Colorado, Denver is looking for people who use vision related assistive
technologies to access a computer to provide feedback on exam content and a
related exam tutorial. Details below.

*           First and most importantly, this is not a research study. We are
simply soliciting feedback on a product.

o          As such, there will be no consenting process nor will there be
any IRB (institutional review board) involvement.

o          We will not collect user information beyond the person's
preferred assistive technology and broad vision related diagnosis.

o          No personally identifiable information will be collected.

*           We are looking for 3-4 individuals who can help review and
provide feedback on some high school lever exam materials.

o          We need someone who uses Jaws and NVDA (this could be two people
if need be), 

o          We need someone who uses VoiceOver on Mac (not mobile).

o          We need a person who uses ZoomText at at least 400% zoom. 

*           Session details:

o          The session will may take up to an hour and a half. 

o          We can travel to a person's location, or they are welcome to come
to our place either on the Auraria or Anschutz Medical campuses.

o          We will provide an opencomm wireless Bluetooth conferencing
headset.

o          The sessions will be recorded however the camera will be focused
on the screen, over the person's shoulder.

 

People who are interested in learning more can contact Jim Sandstrum at
jim.sandstrum at ucdenver.edu <mailto:jim.sandstrum at ucdenver.edu> .

Thank you for your kind consideration of this solicitation. I wish that more
people would reach out to our community as Mr. Sandstrum is doing.

 

Kind wishes,

 

Curtis Chong
