Hello All,
I’m Joash Sujan and I am doing my Masters in Industrial Engineering at Ryerson University. My research focuses on examining User Centered Design (UCD) methods and their applicability to older adult users when carrying out a needs analysis at the beginning of a technology project. In this study, I am seeking expert’s opinion on the cognitive, motor and perceptual abilities needed by older adults when participating in various types of UCD needs analysis methods such as questionnaires, workshops, and cultural probes. I am also interested in any modifications done to existing methods or new ones that researchers have invented/tried. To gather this information, expect designers will be asked to complete a 12 item questionnaire about this topic consisting of 8 forced choice questions and 4 open-ended questions. It should take about 20 minutes to complete.
In this study I am seeking participants who meet one or more of the following criteria:
1. Researchers, Designers or developers who have used User Centered Design ( UCD) methods with older adults (have used focus groups/ think aloud protocol and other needs gathering methods with older adults and disabled people).
2. Researchers, Designers or developers experienced with accessible technology design (eg. Assistive devices, accessible web interfaces).
3. Designers, software or hardware, who have no experience gathering data from older users.
Please click the below link to proceed to the survey.
