[Athen] ALEKS Accessibility

[Howard Kramer]

Hello All:

It doesn't look like anyone replied to this question on ALEKS accessibility
updates. Does anyone have any updated information? Is there any work being
undertaken to make the graphical elements of the placement exam accessible
through long descriptions or tactile graphics?

I'm also told there are no alternative accessible products to ALEKS. Is
this true?

I'm now working with the accessibility and remediation committees on our
campus that were formed in response to UCB's OCR complaint, hence my
interest.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Regards,
Howard
