Alex has done some research; can't be solved: we'll leave it as is for now

Facebook like widget

Facebook like and Google plus buttons are not understandable when used with a screen reader

On production

On "My OER" page, folder delete and add buttons confusing for screen readers

On the "My OER" page, the folder delete and add buttons after each OER name, to the right of the rating widget, are not described well when using a screen reader. They could use more descriptive text somehow.

On production: tested

"Add OER" bookmarklet

The panel on the front page in the right column allows the user to add a widget to their bookmarks bar. When used with a screen reader it is not clear what the button does. When activated with the keyboard the dialog that opens does not get focus. -

Login process accessibility

If an error is made entering login information, there does not seem to be a way to get back to the login form using a keyboard. Perhaps have focus sent to an anchor just before the error message in the login box. NOTE: In Anastasia's branch:

https://github.com/acheetham/OER-Commons/tree/584-failed-login

  • the aria-live stuff doesn't work in IE8 (nor does any other demo of aria-live)
  • the focus fix seems a bit hacky

Search results "details" toggle

The details toggle with each search result announces as "show a list". This text might be more meaningful as "expand/collapse details" or something like that.

On production, AC tested and confirmed

Skip to content link

A "jump to main content" link in the header will be very useful for keyboard users. Anastasia's note: Currently, I can't get the authoring tool to into Preview mode, so I've been unable to test the 'skip to' link on that page.

On production

Get Satisfaction widget

https://www.assembla.com/spaces/iskme/tickets/551-feedback-panel-not-usable-with-a-keyboard-or-a-screen-reader The feedback panel is not usable with a keyboard or a screen reader. When it opens up, screen readers are not notified and do not read the content in it. Using the keyboard to try to navigate it only allows you to focus on two of the many focusable items and even these could use better descriptions when used with a screen reader. Once the panel has opened, it becomes a keyboard trap, meaning you can never tab away from it or close it.

On production

Bookmark and Share widget

The "Bookmark and Share" popup sends focus to the top of the page when you tab past it. This means that everything after the 'share' section is difficult to reach through keyboard navigation. This has been improved slightly with a newer version but the interaction is still awkward. Now the user is sent up to the browser chrome after they've tabbed through the popup and then returned to the point in the page where they were prior to the popup opening.

Carousel

The content of the sliding carousel is not very accessible to screen-reader users. Consider adding descriptive link text to links that are displayed using background images, or alt text to images that are not links.
