  20. Case 3: Crowd-sourcing& Media Accessibility - EIII Objectives - the main objectives of the crowd-sourcing workpackage: • a methodology for the user testing of e-accessibility for web and for audio-visual media. • a framework to enable user testing of accessibility and usability of the web and audiovisual media using crowd-sourcing. • At national level, analyse additional needs for evaluations to find ways to do this with user testing using crowd-sourcing.

  22. Case 3: Crowd-sourcing& Media Accessibility - EIII Issues • How do we ensure that the results of Web checks and AV media evaluations make a difference? • Metrics of accessibility • Building awareness end-to-end from those commissioning content to those who use it • Change management! Geneva, Switzerland, 25 October 2013

  23. Case 3: Issues and Take-aways • Access service optimization • Crowd-sourcing - a good case using both ideological and economic arguments • Check that the voices of those excluded are also heard (triangulation with other assessment methods like simulators, user tests) • Change management: make sure that we learn from our mistakes! 23
