[Athen] [EXTERNAL] - “Inquisitive testing” with a screen reader?

[Hayman, Douglass]

On trying it with NVDA see they have dropdown menus one can use to choose the words others would drag into the blank boxes.  But when you try to tab to those or utilize up/down arrows they fill in answers rather than reading the options in the list.

Just now looking at a demo page.  Has a quiz where you’re supposed to drag and drop text to the blanks to correctly answer.  Those form fields aren’t labeled properly.  No idea if they have an alternate mechanism to move those answers if you can’t see them.

Hi Doug,

I just sent a message to W. W. Norton through the AccessText website. I will try the contact person you suggested!

Thanks for this, and thanks for the corrected spelling! 😊

I had just gotten an email earlier today from someone here on campus.

The person she had heard from there at WW Norton is

Johnson, Casey <cjohnson at wwnorton.com<mailto:cjohnson at wwnorton.com>>

And they use inquizitive as the spelling.  Don’t know if that is who you reached out to Russell but maybe it would get you in touch with a better answer to the question.

Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great summer.

We have a student who is blind enrolled in a music course. The textbook being used is Listen, 9E by Kerman. We have a PDF from the publisher, W. W. Norton, and are currently in the process of editing it in Word.

Along with the textbook, the instructor is using “Inquisitive testing” for exams. From what I understand, this is a test platform offered by W. W. Norton. I have asked the publisher for access to “Inquisitive testing” So I can test for accessibility with a screen reader, but haven’t had a response yet.

Has anyone heard of, or used “Inquisitive testing”? If so, is it accessible with a screen reader? The student is a Mac user, so will be using VoiceOver.

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Russell
