User Testers wanted

The NCBI Centre for Inclusive Technology (CFIT) is looking for a small number of public sector staff to carry out user testing on an upcoming eLearning training module that is being developed by the National Disability Authority (NDA). The module will provide basic Disability Equality training to public sector staff in Ireland.

The training content of the eLearning module includes an overview of disability in Ireland, statistics and relevant legislation. The training will show some of the barriers faced by customers with disabilities and will explain how good customer service can get over these barriers. Trainees will learn how to engage with a person with a disability in a customer services setting.

We are therefore looking for a wide range of public sector staff, particularly;

staff members with/without a disability, and
staff members who are not based in an office.

The testing will take place at the CFIT offices, Drumcondra, Dublin 9 during business hours. The test will take about one hour, and will be recorded on video. Testers should be able to use a computer but expert knowledge is not needed. Users of all levels of computer literacy are needed. The testing will take place at the end of February and CFIT will pay a gratuity of €60 to each tester.

If you are interested in taking part in this test, please get in touch with Joshue O Connor, Senior Accessibility Consultant, NCBI Centre For Inclusive Technology (CFIT).
