The student is Olivia Kennedy, a Digital Media Design student from the University of Limerick. Olivia is now a member of the VICS email list and will be posting a message soon asking for your help in finding out what the problems are with the Player. Please don't give your views yet because Olivia will actually be working on a new version of the RTÉ Player which is significantly different from the current one. She will want some volunteers to help her investigate the accessibility of this new Player and assess the success of whatever changes she makes to it. The outcome will be that the standard Player should be accessible. We are not talking about creating a separate accessible version for blind people. This is mainstreaming. I trust you'll all welcome Olivia and help her if you can. This is valuable work she's doing and we're pleased that she's decided to bring her commitment and talent to bear on this.
