Subject: Do you find websites accessible? – Please help with research for masters. Author: geaneys [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:29:34 04/01/07 Sun My name is Sarah. I am studying a masters in Technology and Learning in Trinity college Ireland.. For my research project I am interested in finding out how accessible websites are for adults with dyslexia and what design principles could be put in place to make information on websites more accessible. I would like to get in touch with adults with dyslexia Do you find it difficult to use websites? Are they any websites that are particularly easy or difficult to use? What would make websites easier to use in your opinion? Do you use screen tinting software that changes the background and text colour of software on their computer? Does this software work on your web browser? If so which, IE, Firefox, Safari? Do you use screen reader technology for accessing information on websites? What are the pros and cons of screen readers in your opinion? Would you find a dictionary of terms or symbol dictionary useful on a website? As a result of my research I hope to create an application that uses the best practice techniques of creating websites for people with dyslexia. To complete my research I will need users to test the application. If you would be interested in doing so please let me know. If you would like more information or want to contact me directly my email address is geaneys@tcd.ie. Thank you in advance. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
