A snapshot of the first encounters of visually disabled users with the Web

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyse the skill acquisition process of visually disabled users over time.

• A decrease in last resort tactics is observed across sessions.

• In parallel, users exhibit more exploration tactics and explore more websites.

• While effectiveness increases, coping success does not.

• Misuse of tactics may be indicative of a larger repertoire or increased confidence.
