[Athen] ALEKS accessibility

[Brusnighan, Dean A.]

Susan,

In our recent testing, we found the ALEKS shell to be accessible, but as soon as the actual math questions begin, not at all accessible.

The last I checked (about a year and a half ago) they were not at all accessible.

Anyone have information on the accessibility of ALEKS, the math assessment tool?  (www.aleks.com<http://www.aleks.com>) This is being rolled out here, apparently, and there are questions being raised.  I've never heard of it.  Anyone have insight?
