[Athen] Zoom has some inaccessible features

[Deborah Armstrong]

Though zoom is popular with BVI folks like my previous message said, the whiteboard and screen sharing are not accessible.

The whiteboard can not be accessed with the keyboard or read with a screen reader. Shared screens are also not text-based.

Instructors need to know that they'll have to read what's written on their digital boards and provide handouts a student can open in a separate window rather than just viewing the instructor's shared screen.

But sharing your screen as a screen reader user is both keyboard and voice accessible, plus the ability to record and control other aspects of zoom is accessible as well.
