[Athen] Training resource for D2L

[Jennifer Sutton]

I would say that NVDA and Firefox are always going to be a more optimal 
combination than NVDA with Chrome, given how closely the "NVDA guys" 
work with Mozilla.


In fact, I'd put NVDA and Chrome as a low priority for any testing, 
except with Google products, specifically.
