[Athen] Accessibility issues in app assignment

[tristenbreitenfeldt at gmail.com]

Hi Khoa,

This does not sound like an accessible question format for a couple of
reasons. Primarily, users can not easily re-read the question if they want
to verify the specific wording (for example) while on the answers page.
Going back to the previous page to read the question again, then returning
to the answers page imposes an unnecessary and even burdensome cognitive
strain on the user of the application. And, that is applicable to all users
whether they have a disability or not; however, this cognitive strain would
be compounded even more if the user had any kind of cognitive impairment
such as short-term memory loss or a learning disability of some kind.

Additionally, this format could cause issues for users of Assistive
Technology such as screen magnification, screen readers, or braille
displays.

I hope this is helpful.
