Sorry this took so long to get back. The college moved my office and cut the IT
staff to boot. Well so much for me...
The student I am working with is using a sited helper to get around in Moodle,
but in my thinking all computer access should be unaided. The problem is
keyboard focus on choice lists in drop boxes, popup window for chat boards, and
because the instructors who construct the pages do not try to keep to 508. I
have watched her get frustrated to many times so using an helper was a good fix
but not for me. At one time I authored the colleges Disability Services page
and keep it for 4 years from 99 to 04 with 508/AAA W3C standers. Sorry, I drift
off topic. It looks like most of it is just web page navigation, but feed back
to the instructor took 45 minutes and keep crashing on her. The solution we
came up with is to use Notepad to make the data and past cutting down on server
time outs. Also when she uses tab to move through the page tab sets it goes
through the browser command keys and on the 2 link in to the page it will run a
script and put her back in the URL request box! Well that is the short list and
this summer when I get more free time I am going to dive in and work the dang
thing out!!!.
Thanks for the reminder and help.
