[Nfbnet-members-list] Study recruitment: accessibility of online courses

[Linden, Maureen Ann]

Accessibility of Online Courses Study
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!

Mr. Andrews,

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).

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.

Please let me know the best way to proceed.   I 
have included some basic recruitment information about our study below.
Thank you
Maureen


Accessibility of Online Courses
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
