Paid Usability Study for Evaluating the Accessibility of Information Visualizations - Austin, Texas (self.Blind)
submitted by sgraf-depaul-hci
Hello everyone,
I am an online graduate student at DePaul University majoring in human-computer interaction. I would like to conduct an in-person paid usability study with one or two participants who are blind to evaluate the accessibility and usability of three information visualizations that were created using D3.js, which is a JavaScript library used to create web-based graphs. I am seeking a participant who:
* Is 18 years of age or older.
* Is completely blind.
* Uses and has access to a screen reader and the internet on a desktop or laptop computer.
* Is local to the Austin, Texas area.
I am hoping to conduct this study between November 7 and November 14, 2019. The usability study should take about 40 minutes to complete. The participant will be asked questions regarding their previous experience (if any) with graphs on the web, and will then be tasked with interacting with the three graphs and answering questions about the data found in each graph. The participant will receive a $75 Amazon gift card for their participation.
If you are interested in participating in this study or have any questions, please contact me by private message or by email at $1.
Thank You

Can you tell us more about why you want this to be an in-person study?

Hi there,
The reason this study has to be in-person at this time is because our professor has mandated it for our projects. I think she wants us to have more experience with conducting studies like these in-person versus online.
Believe me, I would rather it be online so we would be able to get more participants for this. Recruiting has been difficult.

That makes sense. I have a feeling you'll still be able to find people though. Thanks for answering and good luck; this sounds interesting.

Hey have you reached out to TSBVI or the Austin Lighthouse for the Blind? They may be good resources.

Thank you for the suggestions! I have tried the Austin Lighthouse, but I haven't been able to get any response to my calls or emails yet. I have not yet tried TSBVI, so I will reach out to them today.
