Dear Colleagues, Apologies for any crossposting. Thanks to everyone who completed a questionnaire on accessibility and usability of educational games. Some of the work has now been published in the following book chapter M.A. Hersh and B. Leporini (2012).Accessibility and usability of educational games for disabled students, In C. Gonzalez, Student Usability in Educational Software and Games: Improving Experiences, pp. 1-40, IGI Global. We are hoping to collect some more results and then publish a journal article. I am therefore asking you to complete the appropriate version of the questionnaire - there are two versions for teachers and experts, and for disabled students, recent students and their parents, and also to send them to colleagues and students. I could email you copies or you can download the questionnaires from http://web.eng.gla.ac.uk/assistive/pages/computer-based-learning.php I am also looking for people to fill in a questionnaire on ethics - slightly off-topic, though there are a number of ethical issues relating to working with disabled people and, of course, to the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people. Again I can send you the questionnaire on you can download it from http://web.eng.gla.ac.uk/assistive/pages/assistive-technology/ethics.php Let me know if you have any questions about the questionnaires or would like further information about my work. Best wishes Marion -- I am currently participating in UCU industrial action on pensions by working to contract. For more information please see http://www.ucu.org.uk.
