<b>Accessibility of Online Courses Study<br>
</b>Thank you all for the overwhelming support and interest in our
research! We are so appreciative of the response that we have
received. As we were not expecting nearly so much interest in this
work, it may take longer than expected for us to acknowledge your contact
and schedule an interview. We value everyone’s perspectives.
Please be patient with us as we process your emails and phone
calls. Again, thank you very much!<br>

<dd>Mr. Andrews, <br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Georgia Tech’s Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental
Access (CATEA) and Psychology Department are collaborating on a study of
the usability and accessibility of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
for students with vision impairment. The study falls under Georgia
Tech’s approved IRB protocol (#H14209). <br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>I was wondering if I could send some recruitment information to the
nabs-L list. From your subscription website, it would seem that you
do allow non-subscribers to post, however, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t
breaching etiquette. <br>
<dd> <br>
<dd>Please let me know the best way to proceed. I have
included some basic recruitment information about our study below.
<br>
<dd>Thank you<br>

<dd>Accessibility of Online Courses<br>
</b>
<dd>Georgia Tech is conducting a research study on the usability and
accessibility of online courses for students with disabilities. We
want to talk to students who are blind or have low vision about their
experiences with college-level online courses. During this
interview, we will ask questions that will help us understand your
thoughts about the accessibility and usability of features and content of
these courses. The interview will be conducted by telephone and
will take about an hour of your time. You will be paid $20 for
taking part in this interview. If you would like to participate,
please contact Maureen Linden at
