[nabentre] Online Accessibility Research

Thu May 25 12:16:38 UTC 2017

Friends,

The online accessibility and usability of commercial websites affects people of all abilities, including those of us with a disability. While some companies have shown a committed interest in inclusive digital design, the unfortunate truth is that most companies have not. Ensuring that websites and mobile apps are usable by the disability community, is not just the right thing to do, but it makes good business sense.

Please consider participating in this research and support our friend Alex Cohen Ph.D. candidate, as he looks to make a difference in the virtual world for those of us with a visual or print disability.  Blind and low vision participants answer opinion questions about policy issues regarding online accessibility of commercial websites, and then how they would react to two different online accessibility-related conditions. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Help ensure that the virtual world is as accessible and inclusive as it should be.

Participation is completely voluntary and you can stop taking the survey at any time.

To start the survey visit 
https://drexel.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a5D7KnUJjJKsEpT

For your participation, you will be entered in a drawing to win a $300 Amazon gift card. This research has approval from the Drexel University IRB.

The survey has been checked for usability by respected accessibility professionals in the industry. If you have any questions or issues, please contact Alex Cohen by email at ahc43 at drexel.edu

Thanks

Blessings in Jesus’ name!  
Deuteronomy 32New Living Translation (NLT)
32 “Listen, O heavens, and I will speak!
    Hear, O earth, the words that I say!

2 
Let my teaching fall on you like rain;
    let my speech settle like dew.
Let my words fall like rain on tender grass,
    like gentle showers on young plants.

3 
I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
    how glorious is our God!

4 
He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect.
    Everything he does is just and fair.
He is a faithful God who does no wrong;
    how just and upright he is!
Advice from my cats:"Meow when you feel like it."

Friends,

The online accessibility and usability of commercial websites affects people of all abilities, including those of us with a disability. While some companies have shown an interest in inclusive digital design to make their online experiences usable to the disability community, unfortunately most companies have not.
