Dear Sir, Madam,
Within the framework of the BenToWeb project, ISdAC International
Association is looking for test users.
BenToWeb
http://www.bentoweb.org (Benchmarking Tools and Methods for the
Web) is a European project aimed at supporting the development of an
accessibile Web environment.
In order to be able to ensure the accessibility for the different target
groups, BenToWeb wishes to call upon the user expertise of people with
varying disabilities. By means of a user test we want to investigate the
accessibility of the BenToWeb developments. The first test sessions will
take place in February. The actual test consists of a series of about 20
short exercises and will take about 30 minutes of your time. You can
attempt the exercises at home or work by accessing our website. Test
participants receive a reimbursement of EUR 10 for each completed test
series of 20 exercises by means of purchase vouchers by choice (e.g.
Amazon, Tesco, Carrefour...). or equivalent amount.
If you are interested in participating in this test, and you have at least
30 minutes of time available in February, we would like to invite you to
fill out the short questionnaire at
http://bentoweb.org/amfortas/. We
require this information (name, age, assistive technology used,...) so that
we get an idea of how you access the Web. This data will be kept strictly
confidential and will not be passed on to third parties. It will only be
used internally for statistical purposes.
Unfortunately, registration doesn’t guarantee we can accept you as a
test user as we require a panel of users who represent the disabled
community at large. It is possible that your user profile doesn’t match the
specific profile(s) we are looking for in the first test series. However,
more tests will follow and you may then be contacted for future test
sessions. As soon as you have registered we will contact you personally in
order to inform you if you have been selected and for further arrangements.
Test users that are already registered at the ISdAC database need to
register again through this link:
http://www.isdac.org/en/userdatabase.php.
It is technically impossible to automatically link the individual data of
interested test users to the BenToWeb user profile questionnaire.
Furthermore, in order to safeguard the privacy of the registered ISdAC
test users we do not wish to pass on this data to the BenToWeb consortium.
If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Also
don’t hesitate to pass on this message to anyone else that might be
interested. Thank you!
Kind regards,
Xavier Du Château
