Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our company advertises thousands of products online. The main problem we are trying to solve is to garner more user feedback on our interface’s accessibility.
We would like to collaborate with students to conduct accessibility tests on our website with pre-identified customers.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Conducting background research on disabilities and methods of evaluating accessibility.
- Reaching out to customers and scheduling interviews.
- Familiarizing themselves with the test tasks that should be administered.
- Conducting accessibility tests remotely and following up with customers to thank them for their participation.
- Analyzing and reporting the metrics / results of the tests.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Recommending website improvements based on findings.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of different disabilities and factors that affect a website’s accessibility
- Understanding of our accessibility testing procedure
- Analysis of accessibility testing results
Bonus steps would include:
- Recommending improvements for our website
Final deliverables should include:
- A final report.
- A 10-minute presentation.

Why Tellegacy was started. After finding out from a community Chaplain friend that older adults in retirement communities were passing away, not from COVID-19, but from a broken heart due to isolation from family and friends, Jeremy Holloway, PhD, decided to create a flexible, relationship-oriented mindfulness, goal setting and guided imagery curriculum that can be facilitated by University students via phone or virtually one-on-one with older adults in retirement communities. Jeremy got connected with Hayley Studer and achi and together they built the infrastructure for this program. Not only can the Tellegacy program make meaningful intergenerational connections, we think it can save lives.
