| Author's, vendor's, or publisher's description | Compass is software for access assessment that measures users' skills in various kinds of computer interaction. It is designed to help clinical and educational professionals perform computer access evaluations with their clients and students. Skills assessed include keyboard and mouse use, navigation through menus, and switch use. Compass uses eight skill tests in three input device domains (pointing, text entry, and switch use) to record data on the speed and accuracy of user actions. A wide range of alternative keyboards, pointing devices, and switches can be used, and each test can be configured to tailor presentation to the client's needs. You select the appropriate tests to run, depending on the particular questions to be addressed. The software then reports the results for you to evaluate. |
