Do you use adaptive technology on bbc.co.uk?

Post categories:

Vaughan | 00:00 UK time, Friday, 10 June 2005

If you use adaptive technology or customised browser settings to access the 91Èȱ¬ website, then the people at are interested in talking to you. In partnership with the 91Èȱ¬, 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 91Èȱ¬ site with adaptive technology, a customised operating system or specifically-tailored browser settings. They're interested in what the 91Èȱ¬ 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. :)
