KB = keyboard, SR = screen reader
* 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.

'''There are several issues at hand:'''
 
# When composing a math question in Office Mix, author is unable to access the MathType tab on the PowerPoint Ribbon; however, Mix allows the author to input LaTeX into the question field of interactive quizzes via the native Math Tool in the question palette. [https://youtu.be/WKfq1-ycOqU Video of math instructor creating an Office Mix (5:48)]
 
# Author is unable to use the Math Tool in the feedback field (instructor must type math feedback long hand).
 
# Despite authoring the question with what appears to be LaTeX, NVDA is unable to successfully read the equation(s). [https://youtu.be/GTZXRitnZ6g?list=PLy073wx7B4jLBAZlO0wtnGLujTsPlg_n1 Video of NVDA user reading math in Office Mix (5:20)]
 
<br />
 
PCC did test their configuration to make sure NVDA could read MathType in a word document and it did with no problem. They also tried Windows Narrator screen reader, but it can't read it either nor could it read MathType in a word document. Also tested NVDA on LaTeX in a word document by [https://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/popup_tex_in_word.htm toggling the MathType to TeX] and NVDA could read that, but it was LaTeX code which most math students don't know, so it wouldn't be helpful even if that's what Office Mix output, which it doesn't.
 
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''None, at this time.'''
 
Karen Sorensen notes, "The Office Mix interactive editor creates LaTeX for input but the output is a display math version that's not accessible, so that seems to be the problem. [She] called the [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/disability-answer-desk Microsoft Disability Answer Desk]
 
and they told me that Office Mix is still being tested and they welcome [https://officemix.uservoice.com/ Office Mix feedback]...otherwise Office Mix is accessible to screen readers, assuming the instructor narrates the slides well or provides the actual PPT."

  • Students require equivalent access to the content:
    • Transcript option
      • create a transcript of video and include the questions (and other content, such as voice over or image description) at the proper location in the transcript
      • if feedback is provided in the EDpuzzle, feedback can similarly be provided in a second document that includes all of the questions from the first document and the correct answers
      • Limitations:
        • Second document will need some sort of "release trigger" so that student can receive it upon immediate submission of the 1st document (KMc suggested using the Assignments tool in Sakai to release the second document -- further testing required)
