Looks like a couple of our campus divisions may use this vendor for collecting reports from users. We will add them to our list to be evaluated and will share any progress we make with the vendor.

Happy Monday,
Rachel

We are looking at this at OSU and agree that it has some serious issues. One of which is that the training is presented in a way that will make remediation challenging e.g. there are lots of images and interactions that arguably convey meaning that have no text alternatives.
We will be talking to the vendor soon, hopefully.

Hello all,

Our campus is considering Maxient Software. Does anybody have any experience with this product as far as accessibility goes? One of their components is provided by D. and Associates. We have used their Title IX training and I found it to not be accessible to screen readers.

Any input you may have would be appreciated.
