Ouch weblog: individual blog entry

10 Jun 05, 12:00 AM - Do you use adaptive technology on bbc.co.uk?

Posted by Vaughan

If you use adaptive technology or customised browser settings to access the BBC website, then the people at AbilityNet are interested in talking to you. In partnership with the BBC, they're developing a unique web resource which will explain how to use the accessibility features of the Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, all major browsers, and a range of adaptive technology to enable anyone to enhance their experience of using the web.

To help the service reflect the real life experience of people who access bbc.co.uk in a 'non-standard' way, they want to hear about how you use the BBC site with adaptive technology, a customised operating system or specifically-tailored browser settings. They're interested in what the BBC is doing right, but they also want constructive feedback on where the site could be improved.

All they need is twenty minutes of your time - and ideally a good quality photo of yourself. There's a £10 gift voucher in it for your trouble, plus an opportunity to contribute to a key accessibility website.

So if you're interested and want to find out more, contact Jon Gooday at AbilityNet, either by telephoning 020 7843 5405, or by emailing him at jon.gooday@abilitynet.org.uk.

Just got an e-mail response back! So, soon I should be able to give them my experiences surfing the beeb site with zoomtext. Still debating whether to send them a pic of my ugly mug LOL. Apparently it's not necessary but, considered a nice touch to the profiled case studies me thinks. :)
