[Athen] screen magnification with MyMathLabs Plus

[Ron Stewart]

Much of the content in these systems are flash based and subsequently will
not play nice with a variety of AT projects.  Pearson is actually working
diligently to try and deal with these issues, but is also is trying to
maintain the Flash content in an "accessible" form.

We had the same issue with ZoomText and MAGic with MyMathLabs last year, as
well as with browser-based magnification (some of our students simply use
the "enlarge" option inside their browser rather than using a separate
screen magnifier).  Unfortunately have not found a solution yet.  L

Hello all!

We are struggling with getting ZoomText to play nice with MyMathLabs Plus.
Seems it will work well for the student for the homework sections, but not
on tests.  When using ZoomText for the test, the student reports that all
the numbers are 'squished' together.

Any thoughts on this? Is anyone using MAGic or some other screen
magnification that works?  (The magnifier built in to MS Windows is NOT
sufficient for this student.)

THANKS in advance for ANY helpful thoughts!!

Heidi
