[NFB-Idaho] FW: Student looking for research participants

[president at nfbidaho.org]

This person lives in Boise and needs only 1 or 2 more participants. She will
meet with you personally to do the computer webpage exercise. She wants to
get it done this week, I think. We are meeting Friday night at 6:00. You
don't have to be an expert with web pages to participate. I'm not. If
interested, give her a call. You might post to the list, so we know if
anyone has responded. This might be a good opportunity to do some education
on the NFB.

"The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
Blindness is not what holds you back."

Hi!

 

My name is Somer, and I am an online student attending DePaul University for
a master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction.  I am taking an
Accessibility course and we are conducting a very small research project for
class.  I am looking for 1-3 people who would be interested in meeting with
me in person.

 

We are trying to recruit participants who are over 18 years old, have a
visual impairment, and use a screen reader to browse the internet.  We are
doing our best to replicate a study from 2010 that had participants try to
find items within different types of menu structures.  The menus in the
study are similar to ones you would find on a webpage.

 

A sample of the type of tasks we ask participants to complete can be found
here:  https://bananacom.optimalworkshop.com/treejack/bananacom-demo-survey

 

The consent form for participating in the research study can be found here,
it should be able to answer most of your questions:

I will be providing a $10 Amazon gift card to anyone who participates.

 

Don't hesitate to contact me for additional information.  You can also
call/text me at 208-869-9527.  I hope to hear from you soon!

 

Thanks!
