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.
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.
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.
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.
The survey will be active during June and July, and the following
is the
