[NFB-Idaho] FW: Redbox Kiosk Testing Program

[President of NFB Idaho]

Our affiliate will be participating in the Red Box Kiosk testing program. We participated in the initial testing a few years ago. There are kiosks in Idaho Falls, Moscow, and Boise. This email includes information about the testing process. Please let me know if you would like to be a kiosk tester. If I don’t get volunteers, I may contact individuals directly to see if they would volunteer. This work is very important.


Dear Colleagues:

 

After a COVID-related hiatus, we are reestablishing our Redbox kiosk testing program, and your affiliate is invited to participate during this final testing window (October 1 through November 30, 2021). Our testing program is a critical part of the NFB-Redbox settlement agreement implementation. If you are interested in having your affiliate participate, I ask that by September 17 you send to Valerie Yingling at vyingling at nfb.org the name and contact information for one member who will serve as your affiliate’s tester. This tester will be expected to conduct the following tasks: 

*	Assess three remediated Redbox kiosks for accessibility, including the ability to nonvisually browse, rent, pay for, retrieve, and return media. (Testers will need to bring with them a set of headphones and a credit or debit card to use for each rental and will incur a charge of $1.75 to $3.00 per rental.) 
*	Complete an online report following each kiosk test. A copy of this report is attached for the purpose of identifying someone who can successfully perform the tests. 

 

Soon, Valerie will forward to each of you a list of the currently remediated Redbox kiosks in your state so that you can select a tester who lives or works near the kiosks. Please note that Valerie will coordinate a training for the identified kiosk testers prior to October 1.

 

Affiliates that choose to participate in the Redbox Kiosk Testing Program and successfully complete their assigned kiosk tests and reports will receive a financial grant of $100 per kiosk at the conclusion of the testing period. 

 

Please let Valerie Yingling know if you have questions about the Redbox Kiosk Testing Program. And as a reminder, please send to Valerie (vyingling at nfb.org) the name and contact information of the affiliate member you assign to be the tester. If we do not hear from you by September 17, we will assume that you do not wish to have your affiliate participate in the kiosk testing program.

 

Regards, 

Mark
