General Accessibility Review of Product
|
Tested VPAT against WCAG2.0 AA guidelines as well as general compatibility with JAWS screen reader. Testing conditions:
- JAWS 18 (trial mode)
- Chrome 54.0.2840.59
- Firefox 45.6.0
|
Design/Accessibility Recommendations:
- When using the pen tool or highlighter, try to visually describe what is being emphasized or conveyed [e.g., I’m circling (or drawing an arrow to/highlighting) the ____ because/to/so that ____].
- To caption a Mix, it will first need to be uploaded to Office Mix as a video. Additional steps to caption the Mix are included in the Captions section of Table 1: Testing Notes below.
- Post a transcript for the Mix separately (as a text file or Word document) in Sakai, near the link to the Mix.
- At this time, incorporating Mix activities (polls, quizzes, Kahn Academy videos, and Web Viewer) is not recommended. Unfortunately, assistive technology users will not find them readily useable. If you wish to incorporate a Mix activity, please consider how you can also offer an equal, alternative in Sakai.

Notes from PCC
- PCC has successfully tested Office Mix with NVDA. According to Karen Sorenson, Accessibility Advocate for Online Courses at PCC, Office Mix is screen reader accessible (with NVDA), even the interactive quizzes.
- Turning captions on overrides the Viewer controls. The keyboard-only user can toggle between the captions and the Viewer controls by pressing the Enter key.
- Consider further testing on mobile devices and with NVDA to learn more about how Mix performs.
