</font> My name is Dr. Brian Wentz, and I am an Associate Professor
of Management Information Systems at Shippensburg University. I and
Dr. Jonathan Lazar, a Professor of Computer and Information Sciences at
Towson University, are conducting a web-based survey with users who are
blind to learn more about the impact that website, software, and mobile
app updates can have on accessibility and use. The goal of this research
is to compile data regarding the experiences and problems that blind
users encounter that are related to new versions and updates of apps,
software and websites. We are looking for blind participants who are 18
years of age and older to assist us with this survey.<br><br>
<br><br>
Survey participants will complete a web-based survey that will take you
between 15 and 45 minutes to complete. The survey will ask you questions
about the devices that you use to access software and the Web as well as
experiences and preferences related to software and website updates, new
versions of software and websites, and security updates.<br><br>
<br><br>
Participation in this study is voluntary, and you are at liberty to
withdraw your consent to the experiment and discontinue participation at
any time without prejudice. Personal information or accounts will not be
used at any time. You will be entered in a drawing to win one of 4 $25
gift cards.<br><br>
<br><br>
All information will remain strictly confidential, and once it is coded
the original information will be stored in a locked location in my office
at Shippensburg University.<br><br>
<br><br>
The survey will be active during June and July, and the following is the
link to the web-based survey:
