[NABS-L] Students Needed for Accessibility Study

[nabs.president at gmail.com]

Good afternoon students!

 

Are you interested in participating in a study that will result in finding
solutions to accessibility issues and barriers that affect blind students at
the University of Maryland?

 

There is a group of graduate students in the College of Information Studies
from the University of Maryland who are hoping to improve the usability of
their website and make it more accessible to blind students who use screen
readers.

 

The goals of usability testing include establishing and validating user
performance measures and identifying potential design concerns to be
addressed in order to improve the accessibility and end-user satisfaction.
The usability testing session will last approximately one and a half hours.

 

If you would like to be a participant in our study, please feel free to
contact the below for more details and to schedule a meeting time. We
appreciate your help in their efforts to improve the user experience of
blind and low-vision students at the University of Maryland.

Love,
