<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi, Mike. Due to the known incompatibility issues with AT and many of the secure exam browsers (ExamGuard, Respondus Lockdown, etc.) we regularly notify faculty that they may need to reconsider the use of such
browsers overall (“are they really necessary?”) or at least be willing to offer a workable alternative to a student who relies on AT. We also bring into the conversation the fact that the exam environment should be equivalent for the entire class – one student
should not be forced to take an exam with a proctor in an on-campus testing center during business hours if everyone else gets to take it unproctored in their bedroom at 10pm if they so choose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A couple of months ago I posted a similar question regarding the use of JAWS and ZoomText with Secure Exam Browser. I received a couple of responses with alternatives due to Secure Exam browser’s accessibility issues. I have through my
own carelessness inadvertently deleted thos messages. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If anyone has alternatives to Secure Exam Browser being used in testing centers on your campus will you please send those suggestions along. The testing center here on campus is willing to listen if I have information from other colleges
and universities. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
