For those out there who want to see a better web, filling out this survey would be useful. My reading of the survey is that they put several different ways of doing the same thing together, and want to find out which ones work best.

This will take place through two activities: > > An online Design Pattern Usability Study, which will provide information for > The CSUN 2016 UXathon > The results of both activities will be contributed to the W3C Accessible Rich > Internet Applications Working Group to help improve WAI-ARIA Authoring > Practices. You’ll be helping to improve the user experience for anyone using > a site that makes use of these design patterns. > > > Design Pattern Usability Study > > We’re looking for people who use a range of assistive technologies and input > devices, such as keyboards and voice input, to take part in a study > evaluating some examples of different types of interactive web content. Each > example is designed with accessibility in mind, but takes a different > approach to the same problem. > > The study involves taking an online survey, which will ask you questions > about your assistive technology use, and then invite you to use some user > interface component examples, and report on your experience of using these > examples. > > Design Pattern Usability Survey > <https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/accessibleUX2016> > CSUN’s First UXathon > > The information gathered from the online survey will be used to support a > UXathon event at this year’s CSUN conference > <http://www.csun.edu/cod/conference/2016/sessions/index.php/public/website_pages/view/1> > in San Diego. We’re very grateful to the CSUN conference organising team for > their support in enabling this event to happen. > > The UXathon will take place in two stages, and we are looking for > participants to be involved in each stage. > > Stage 1: Follow-up evaluation > > In the first stage of the UXathon, we’ll invite people who took part in the > online survey to test the same examples as featured in the study, but this > time in person, so that we can ask follow-up questions and invite > participants to express their opinions in more detail. > > With participants’ permission, we will record these sessions, allowing > designers and developers more insight, as they will also be able to see and > hear how people interact with each example. > > If you’ll be at CSUN and would like to take part in this first stage of the > UXathon, we strongly encourage you to complete the online survey first. > > Stage 2: Hacking solutions > > For the second stage of the UXathon, we are looking for developers and > designers to join us the morning of Saturday, March 26 from 9:00 – 12:00. > > The purpose of this stage will be to take the feedback we’ve gathered from > the online study and follow-up evaluations, and hack solutions to enhance the > design patterns further. The results will be shared widely, and will be > available for comment by those who cannot attend the CSUN Conference. > > Are you interested? > > If you’d like to take part, you can go directly to the online survey, or > contact us directly by emailing [email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]?subject=CSUN%20UXathon> with the subject CSUN > UXathon. Let us know in which stage you would like to participate (you can > participate in both if you like!), so we can send you the right information. > > We expect lots of interest in the first CSUN UXathon and can’t guarantee > space for everyone who signs up. We thank you in advance for your > understanding. > > The Deque aXe Hackathon > > You may also be interested in another exciting event taking place on the > final Saturday of CSUN. Our colleagues at Deque are organising an aXe > accessibility hackathon, exploring solutions using their aXe technology.
