[Athen] Recent release of Google Forms and accessibility

[Brenden Goetz]

We have been using a Google form embedded on our website (www.du.edu/studentlife/disability-services/books.html) for alternate format requests for the past year or two. We have a few blind students who have been able to submit requests (using JAWS, WindowEyes, and potentially VoiceOver), and the only complaint I have received from any student is that the scroll bar on the form can be hard to find (there is a scroll bar for the whole page, of course, but also a scroll bar within the form - not the best design, I know).  I'm not sure where this form falls in terms of any recent releases, but it has been working ok for us. 

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Brenden
