Review of the main concepts
Target skills
Now that we’ve gone over the main concepts about including people with disabilities in your project team, the benefits of this inclusion, as well as the importance of assistive technology and choosing the best location for user testing, take this short quiz to review what you’ve learned and assess your knowledge.
What are the main benefits of including people with disabilities in your project team?
Good job!
Diversity and Innovation, Increased cultural exchange and morale, Reputational benefits, and High work quality are the main benefits of
including people that live with disabilities on your project team.
Why is it important to involve people with disabilities in a usability testing?
Good job!
People with disabilities use various tools
and devices to navigate online. Automated
tools may help web admins identify specific
types of barriers that could affect people with
disabilities. However, the solution is to use
automated and human tests when developing
digital content. Most importantly, human
testing should involve people with
disabilities. That's because when people
live with a condition that changes their
navigation habits, they have more
awareness of how different tools work.
What does a location need to include to be considered accessible for people with disabilities?
Good job!
Many disabled people may have trouble with transportation, and also keep in mind the accessibility of your location itself.
Can a person’s skills in using assistive technologies affect user testing?
Good job!
A person's skills and experience in using a particular assistive technology may affect the user testing. For example, a low-skilled user may not know how to use the technology and spend a lot of time figuring it out rather than utilising the test product.
