<p class="MsoNormal">And I have rarely seen a web form that was so accessible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In particular, notice how on screen 5 and beyond when students are asked to sort their preferences for scheduling times, there are buttons to move items quickly up and down to properly sort everything and easily review the results with
access technology.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So often I’ve seen forms where the user is asked to drag and drop items to put them in the proper order, which doesn’t work for screen reader users. Drag and drop also doesn’t work for students, who are physically limited, for example,
one of mine, who recovered from a stroke could move the mouse but did not have the dexterity for drag and drop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am so grateful that many folks at our college value accessibility!<o:p></o:p></p>
