Hello. Please see the announcement/invitation below to participate in an
upcoming focus group. Forwarding and reposting is encouraged.  Thank you.

 

Recruiting for D.C. Area Focus Group, Accessibility of High Stakes Testing

 

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMACR) is working with WGBH's
Carl and Ruth Shapiro National Center for Accessible Media (WGBH-NCAM) to
conduct
a focus group on the accessibility of the Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMATR) by people who are blind, have low vision or have a mobility
impairment,
and who use a keyboard vs. a mouse for online navigation. Your participation
is requested.  Preference is given to individuals who have had experience
taking a high stakes graduate admission test.

 

Focus Group participants will be asked questions about test taking
experiences including test functionality and navigation, and to provide
preferences
for potential delivery of accessible graphics and other imagery.

 

An honorarium will be offered, and transportation to the site of the focus
group (Reston, VA) arranged and costs reimbursed.

 

Please send an email to 
access at wgbh.org 
with "participate" in the subject line. The focus group will be held in the
morning of one of these three dates. Please include your preferences of
dates
by indicating first choice and second choice.

 

Thursday, September 16
Tuesday, September 21
Monday, October 4

 

Thank you.
