We are pleased to announce that there will be a hands-on workshop about how to use OpenVULab for accessibility research at the University of Guelph Accessibility Conference, May 29-30, 2012. Visit the conference home page for more details.

We just released a new technical report on the pilot testing of OpenVULab with users having cognitive disabilities. The report is called Open Virtual Usability Lab: A New Tool for Research on Learning Technologies and it’s available at the Institute for Research on Learning Technologies website.

We just completed a series of user experience tests with users having cognitive difficulties. Users liked the Display Preference options and pointed out some suggested changes which we are now working on. Overall, OpenVULab performed well. A 10 minute recorded sessions uploaded in about 3 minutes using a 100 mb connection.
