<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, Pearson’s Mosaicos book is wonderfully marked up so that JAWS NVDA, and VoiceOver all properly read the textbook switching languages when appropriate. With JAWS you can choose between ten free Spanish voices as well, so you have some
variety as you progress through the book.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The McGraw-Hill connect platform, by contrast does not have a very accessible textbook. Though JAWS can read it, there’s no markup.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Pearson platform by default has an image-only version of the book. To get to the accessible version, you need to pick the “accessible resources” link in its online lab.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When images appear in the book, on the accessible version, you select the link labeled “D” for their description. Pearson did an outstanding job with the textbook.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the lab exercises are not accessible, but it’s only a few of them.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a student interested in taking Spanish in the Fall. He is a Screen Reader user (JAWS) and he will need to take the course online. Is there any online Spanish platform that you have that is accessible and you would recommend?<o:p></o:p></p>
