Do you telework? We are seeking feedback from people with diverse abilities on their experiences working remotely.
The Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC) is looking for people with diverse abilities to take part in a research project being conducted by Microsoft.
Microsoft researchers would like to learn more about the experiences of individuals with diverse abilities who telework. Teleworking enables people to communicate remotely via technology rather than having to connect via in-person contacts. In this study, we would like to learn more about the benefits and challenges of teleworking, specifically for individuals with varying accessibility needs.
The overall goal of this research study is to learn about the accessibility benefits and challenges when teleworking for individuals with diverse abilities.
To be eligible you must:
Be employed (full-time or part-time) and telework
Be 18 years of age or older
Prefer English for reading and writing
Be a member of the Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC)
Participants in this study will be asked to answer questions about their teleworking experiences. The survey will include a few questions about the participant, their work, the technologies they use, and their personal experience teleworking. Participation in this study may take up to 30 minutes to complete. Following completion of answering the questions, participants will receive a $25 stipend for their time and effort.
