Hi Listers,

If any of you would be interested in participating in a study about accessibility this sounds quite interesting.

Subject: Web Accessibility Study (done remotely)

Hi all,

My name is Louis Li, and I am a researcher at the Intelligent Interactive Systems Group at Harvard. I am currently seeking participants for a remote web study to evaluate some systems for improving web accessibility. I hope that this posting is appropriate.

I sent a similar blurb about a month ago. Thank you to everyone who participated in testing the first iteration of the design. Many people from this list contacted me, and I am tremendously grateful for your willingness to volunteer your time. We have recently redesigned the tool based on the feedback and are now looking for new participants in the study.

I've attached the description below. Please feel free to forward this announcement to anybody else who might be interested in hearing about this study.

Thank you.

Best,
Louis

We are currently seeking participants for a study to evaluate new technologies that we hope will make it easier for people with motor impairments to click on small items on the screen.

-- The study can be completed on your own computer from your own home
-- The study consists of 200 clicking tasks (selecting items from different menu designs)
-- The study takes between 40 and 60 minutes depending on individual circumstances
-- We will compensate each participant with a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate for their time

We are seeking participants:
-- who experience moderate or severe difficulty in moving their hands to click on small objects on the screen or who use specialized assistive technologies to control the mouse pointer
-- who are 18 or older
-- who have access to a laptop or desktop computer (tablets like iPads cannot be used for this study)

If you would like to participate in the study or if you have question, please contact Louis Li at louisli at college.harvard.edu or 925-679-5064
