Hi,

I hope you do not mind me contacting this list again about this

research. My colleague Barbara and I wrote a chapter, including some

preliminary recommendationsfor a book called Student Usability in

Educational Software and Games: Improving Experiences, which is due to

be published soon.

We are now continuing this research to get a larger sample of

respondents, particularly disabled students. There are two

questionnaires, one for disabled students and recent students and

parents of disabled students; and the other for teachers, tutors and

experts. The questionnaires are available in English, Italian and

Polish. They can be downloaded from the following links (which are now

working properly - there was a problem with them earlier):

English version:

Polish version: http://www.elec.gla.ac.uk/assistive/pages/nauka-komputerowa.php

Italian version:

http://www.elec.gla.ac.uk/assistive/pages/lapprendimento-basato-sul-computer.php

Could I encourage you to complete a questionnaire and to send them to

your disabled students and colleagues.

Thanks
