<P class=MsoNormal>Hello All,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT size=3></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please read about the study below and contact Mr. Stearns if
you can help. This study will lead to greater access so give it serious
consideration.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Greetings!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>My name is Lee Stearns. I am a graduate student in the
Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, working with
Professors Leah Findlater and Jon Froehlich. Our research team is studying how
to make the next generation of mobile computing technology more
accessible.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We are recruiting blind participants who are 18 years or
older to help us evaluate mobile technologies. The study will ask you to perform
simple tasks that are similar to everyday mobile device use, like tapping on
buttons or navigating through emails. We are also collecting basic demographic
information and feedback on the mobile devices.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Study sessions will be conducted at our lab on the University
of Maryland, College Park campus. In rare circumstances, we may be able to
arrange in-person sessions at a location that is more convenient to you. The
study will take up to 2 hours and you will be compensated $30 for your
time.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Participants will also receive $30 toward transportation
costs if the study session is at a location you would not normally visit, making
the total compensation $60.<o:p></o:p></P>
