Accessibility
This website offers accessibility to all users in a number of ways. However, due to the wide range of activities in the lessons, teachers should partner students who require assistive technologies with other students in the class.
A skip navigation function allows users to jump to the main content area on any page.
Images have alternative tags that describe what the image illustrates.
Videos provide a closed caption button, and a text version of the video is provided when images in the video also contain math content.
Many math problems that appear on the Web pages are images, so alternative text for the image will be read by a screen reader. However, fractions are written in Mathematical Markup Language (MathML). In order for a screen reader to interpret MathML, it is highly recommended that students use the JAWS screen reader and the free download MathPlayer, which runs on Internet Explorer 9. An alternative is for students to use ChromeVox on the Chrome browser to read the MathML.
The Algebra II Journal is offered in an accessible version.
Screen readers users are strongly encouraged to use the latest version of JAWS on Internet Explorer 9 or 10. Accessibility instructions for screen reader users:
- Begin reading each page by pressing CTRL+Home.
- Use the Say All keyboard commands to hear the entire page read before trying the interactive.
- After the page has been read, CTRL+Home again to move back to the top of the page and do the interactive portions of the lesson.
