[games_access] Game Accessibility Education Survey

[Thomas Westin]

Hi all,

We are contacting you as a member of the IGDA Game Accessibility SIG to participate in a study about a curriculum framework we are designing. The framework builds on a UNESCO curriculum toolkit and published research about Game Accessibility (GA).

As most of you probably are aware, GA has so far been optional for developers, but with the use of games in non-entertainment contexts and the Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) in the USA, there is an increasing need of education about game accessibility. However, it cannot be expected that all educators in games are also experts in GA. Further; professional game developers need to learn about GA without attending a school.

To solve this problem we have designed a draft curriculum framework, which can be applied in different contexts. In order to analyse the validity of the framework we have devised an online survey (here: https://goo.gl/1Dre1g) to gather data on the relevance of different topics found in different research papers.

The survey takes about 15 minutes and is designed to be as easy as possible to complete, as most of the questions just require ticks on a scale. The data gathered by the on-line survey will be analysed and reported in the academic press and disseminated via other media. The survey closes on January 28, 2016.

Thanks a lot for your kind collaboration. We apologize if you have received duplicates of this e-mail.
