[Athen] accessible web survey tools

[Ken Petri]

Thanks Sean. And you're right--it's a bit out of date. For one, the caveats
about high-contrast and tab navigability re: SurveyMonkey no longer hold.

We've been using Survey Gizmo at the WAC for quite a while for both CIC
surveys and also for surveys to our DS office students.

James, in SG, I recommend avoiding the "sortable" and star-ratng questions.
Those are still problematic with keyboard and screen reader. Also, you might
have a look at our "tips" section. Those still hold:

SurveyMonkey has done some nice things with table markup in their grid-based
questions that are specifically geared for accessibility. It's definitely
worth trying out.

We will update our information in the next few months. So I have added in a
note at the top of the page warning about the age of the information....

Best,
ken
