May 2011 Pilot Program for Accessibility in Educational Testing

The May 2011 Pilot Program aims to evaluate the accessibility and usability of educational testing for students who are blind. Its primary goals include assessing the proof of concept, gathering feedback on interface and ease of use for both students and test administrators, and examining the technology supported. The pilot will feature a fixed-form test covering multiple subjects, incorporating various item types. Participation is open to all students who are blind and their vision specialists. The pilot runs online in mid-to-late May, with feedback collection in June.
