questionnaires in sign language

[Woll, Bencie]

My colleague, Mick Canavan (formally of EyeGaze) has been developing and is near to completing a software application that can be used to easily create an on-line questionnaire that allows for video questions and video responses. In the context of the Deaf community, this will allow for questions to be delivered and answered in sign language.

Please contact Mick directly (email at end of message) if you would like to be involved.

The key aims of this project were:


*       to develop a software application from the 'ground-up' with the needs of sign language users in mind, although text and speech capabilities also exist.

*       to create a software application that allows non-technical people to create 'sign language questionnaires' (SLQ) quickly and with ease.

*       to provide an on-line platform whereby questionnaires could be published 'immediately', at the push of a button onto the world wide web.

*       to create a secure and protected area where all respondents answers are stored.

*       to create a space where verified sign language interpreters could log on and translate video responses on-line.

*       To create an administration area where management could decide which staff members have access to questionnaire creation and responses etc.

Why not take a look for yourselves?
