[Athen] Accessibility of "Eli Review"?

[Deborah Armstrong via athen-list]

My blind student struggling with Perusal  told me she has to also use "Eli Review" another online tool integrated in to her online class that she says requires highlighting and "clicking on stuff".
I got access to her course, but it's a subscription thing so I'm not signing up just to test it.
Anyone know anything about this tool and if it is screen reader friendly?
I have to rant a bit: it seems like every quarter some instructor comes up with yet another online (third-party) tool that I'm asked to look at for accessibility. In the good old days, instructors just had discussion forums; now they've dispensed with it and have all these online learning labs that may or may not be accessible and even when they are, require advanced level computer skills. And they cost money too! I wish they would vet these things before adopting them.
Plus I'm seeing more and more students with limited computer skills; they do everything on their phone. This goes for both blind and LD students. But you need to use a computer for most of these tools.
And in high school, they all got personal human Aides instead of learning independence skills.
So the trend seems to be more and more students with minimal computer skills and more and more web-based apps that require them!
