@@ To Do: use short name for use group & link to user analysis
table
@@ To Do: link from table above down to description below
- Card Sorting Participant 1
- The first participant is a female with a UNIX Admin background so she
is very technical. She only recently started hearing about
accessibility. She is aware of ALT tags, but that's about it. She had
been to the W3C site, but wasn't really familiar with WAI as much
(couldn't find what she needed when she visited). She is representative
of #2 Web “coder”/technical developer
- Card Sorting Participant 2
- The second woman has been doing web development of larger news sites
for a couple of years and is much more user focused with a good
understanding of WCAG and accessibility in general. She has been to the
WAI site and is a usability specialist. I would say she is
representative of #8 Internet or intranet site manager as she's managed
and developed very large sites or of #21 educator (including
accessibility in courses) as she teaches an HCI course. HCI
background.
- Card Sorting Participant 3
- The third is a male, very familiar with the W3C site in general and
with WAI. He is also a web developer and of the three the most familiar
with various technologies and accessibility needs. I would include him
in the #3 Web interaction designer, usability specialist, application
designer group. HCI background.
- Card Sorting Participant 4
- Male professor. He is an accessibility advocate both in his college
and at the university level on an advisory committee. He is rather
technologically savvy. He is familiar with W3C and WAI but not real
familiar with the WAI website. HCI background.
- Card Sorting Participant 5
- Female executive staff assistant and office manager for one of the
university vice presidents. She is aware of accessibility issues and
the university initiatives but is not familiar with WAI and has never
seen the WAI site. As far as I know has not created any web pages.
- Card Sorting Participant 6
- Female WAI/EOWG member, academic accessibility consultant/adviser,
involved in writing guidelines, life long student, web consultant/web
designer, web project leader, etc.
