Unlocking Insights: Moderated vs. Unmoderated ...
summary
Compares moderated versus unmoderated testing for people who use assistive tech and gives concrete tradeoffs: moderated yields deeper qualitative probes but costs more and risks moderator bias; unmoderated scales cheaply but requires crystal‑clear tasks and careful recruitment. Recommends a tech check one week before to catch screen reader or platform audio issues and a workaround (join from a second device to capture screen reader sound). Advises a top 5 participant mix (1–2 screen reader, low vision, dexterity, cognitive) and max three sessions a day to avoid burnout.
