[Athen] McGraw-Hill's Connect / LearnSmart

[Normajean.Brand]

Hello Fellow Athenites!
I've been searching the archives for information on the accessibility of McGraw-Hill's Connect and LearnSmart, and the closest message was from Shelly Haven back in January. Has anyone had the opportunity to test these with JAWS or other AT? Our college is really pushing for more content using Connect, LearnSmart and Pearson's My_(insert discipline here)_Lab. I do not have enough command of JAWS to really test the accessibility of these, but I have students who do and I am getting the feedback that neither publisher's software is accessible to them using JAWS. I've watched as these students struggle with trying to make JAWS work in those environments without much or any success.

Now, I get an email asking me to assess the accessibility and report any findings of Connect and LearnSmart by this afternoon for a major faculty-run workshop (non-faculty not invited) tomorrow at 9a.m.

Do any of you have any suggestions or personal experience findings that I can give them?
