<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">We use JAWS on our campus, and
I have run into an issue that I don’t know how to resolve. I would
appreciate any guidance you might be able to provide.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">An educational technologist
colleague has created a template in Contribute. She plans to make it
available to faculty/instructors. Thus, the template has headers for
sections such as “Contact information”, “Syllabus information”, and
similar. Each header section (not editable by faculty) is followed by an
editable region where the instructor can copy and paste the appropriate
information. My colleague<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">wants the template to be
accessible by an instructor who may be using a screen
reader.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">My difficulty is this.
Before entering EDIT mode in Contribute, the template page reads fine with
JAWS. However, when I attempted to edit the page in Contribute, simulating
an instructor adding information in the editable region, the page was no longer
accessible enough to be useful. To be specific, JAWS will not read the
headers that identify each section of the template. Tabbing just skips
from one editable region to another.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
