It will be locked immediately upon posting. Please contact Dr. Billah directly, at the e-mail address provided, with any questions regarding this study or participation in it. ---------------- I am Syed Billah; I am an assistant professor at the Pennsylvania State University. One of our research agenda is to make computer programming accessible to students with vision impairments. Our lab recently developed a research prototype of an accessible online editor for Python. Programming languages like Python are predominantly visual. As a result, sighted programmers often rely on visual cues, such as empty spaces, highlighting parentheses, to write error-free code in an editor. Unfortunately, most editors fail to properly convey these visual cues in audio, making it difficult to write code non-visually. We hope our prototype overcomes these challenges and lets someone writes Python code non-visually. Currently, we are running a study to test this prototype. We invite adults with vision impairments who are familiar with Python to participate in our study. Participants will be asked to read/write simple Python code non-visually using screen readers (e.g., NVDA). The study will be conducted over Zoom video conferencing software. It will take 2 hours, and we'll pay an Amazon Gift card of USD $50 to compensate for the individual's time. Please note that payment may take a week due to the official process. If you are interested, don't hesitate to contact me, Syed Billah at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Thank you, Syed M.
