# Introduction to my accessibility study
Hello! My name is Nicholas Matthews. I am deaf, and I am also a doctoral student in Educational Leadership at California State University, Long Beach. I am looking for college students with disabilities to be in a research study I am doing, including blind and low vision students.
The title of my study is “Accessible Instructional Materials and Disabled Student Success.” Instructional materials are things like videos, webpages, and files that students use in a college course. Instructional materials are accessible if they can easily be used and understood by students with disabilities. For example, images with alt text or text descriptions are accessible to students using screen readers.
If you are a college student, I would like to ask you about the accessibility of your instructional materials. With my study, I hope to show that accessible instructional materials are important for students like you. My study will show if students with disabilities learn more in their classes when their materials are accessible.
# How to participate
To be in my study, you must be at least 18 years old and have a disability. You should also have taken one or more classes at a college or university in the Fall 2020 term. Finally, you should understand the informed consent notice on the first page of the survey. If you do not understand the informed consent notice, you should not participate in this study.
Being in my study is voluntary. This means you can choose whether to be in my study or not. You should participate in my study only if you really want to.
If you choose to be in my study, you will take an online survey through a website called Qualtrics. I will not ask you for any personal information, like your name or student ID number. However, I will ask you for the name of your college and the name of a class you took at your college. Your answers will be kept private, so that only the researcher and his supervisors will see them. The survey should take between 15 and 45 minutes of your time.
# Take the survey
$1.
You can take the survey any time before March 26. I have tested the survey using JAWS 2020 and VoiceOver screen readers, and the survey should be accessible for users with disabilities. However, please feel free to contact me if you encounter accessibility problems with the survey. If you have difficulty taking the survey or have any questions or concerns about my study, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Nicholas Matthews
