[Athen] Cengage and Pearson Student Sites

[Robert Beach]

As far as I know.  When I showed them the Screen Shot Reader on the reading portion, I didn't hear anything else about having issues.  So, I'm guessing they managed it just fine.

Hi Robert,
Were they able to use Read and Write for the quiz portion?

I do know that in the My Reading Lab portion of Pearson’s product, my students have used Read&Write’s Screen Shot Reader tool to access the reading sections.  That seemed to work well for them.

Cyrus!! Ill share what I learn. I just don’t get how the homework site is not accessible to a screen reader. There has to be one student in the U.S taking the same course as my student!

Come to Texas one day! I’ll show you SPI!

Hug for you!

Hi Diane,
While I don’t have a solution for you, I was actually getting ready to query the group about a similar issue I am having with MyEconLab. I am trying to find a text reader to read the quizzes. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: [Athen] Cengage and Pearson Student Sites

Hello,

I am seeking collective wisdom regarding Cengage and Pearson student homework sites.  The issues are the following on Cengage my student is able to listen to the eBook on the website .  When it comes to using a text to speech reader on the  homework site she is unable to listen to it (uses natural reader).  On the Pearson site she is having the same issue with the homework; is unable to listen to it. Please give me guidance as to who to help my student.

Sincerely,

D. Cardiel
