[Athen] FW: WebAssign info needed

[Dan Comden]

Wink, can they give you example content so you can verify?

I know it's not what you asked for, however this might be useful as a flag
for others communicating with vendors.
My opinion: a vendor that claims screen reader accessibility without
mentioning anything else (like WCAG 2.0) has at best an incomplete grasp of
accessible design...

Just my experience but it's been pretty consistent over the last few years.
It's definitely a sign for me that a closer look will be required.
