Have you ever had a problem navigating and accessing information on the web from your computer? We are seeking people with various disabilities to provide user feedback on their personal experience with browser accessibility.
The Accessibility User Research Collective (AURC) would like to invite people with visual impairments, learning disabilities, and cognitive disabilities to provide feedback on their experience with web browsers in a research study being conducted by Microsoft.
Microsoft researchers are conducting a survey gathering data on the accessibility and usability of web browsers. Microsoft researchers would like to learn more about the experiences of people with varying accessibility needs as they use web browsers. Data gathered from this study will be used to improve the usability and accessibility of Microsoft products and services.
To be eligible you must:
Have a visual impairment, learning disability, or cognitive disability
Use web browsers on the computer
Be at least 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 a few questions about themselves, their technology use, and their use of web browsers. Study participation should take no more than 30 minutes. Following study completion each participant will receive a $25 stipend for their time and effort.
If you are interested in participating in this study, please use the automated Enrollment Form button at the bottom of this Study #89 information page.
It will ask you to type your name, email and add a short note on your interest in the project. Someone from the AURC staff will contact you shortly to verify you meet the recruitment criteria so you can participate.
