[blindLaw] CLEs that have prompts on the screen to document that the participant took the course

[Luis Mendez]

Good evening Ray,

I agree with you.  I ran into this problem with an ABA CLE course because I
switched screens so that I could take notes. Once I pointed out the issue I
did received  credit for the course. Lessoned learned though, now I use my
braille display note taking features, and hope that the prompt is audible
and the information is spoken. That should be  the standard approach.

Luis

I agree. The same thing happened to me on a New York City CLE. I heard these
dinging sounds, but it didn't occur to me that I needed to do anything. I
probably did not get credit for the course.
The whole thing is ridiculous! They used to have verbal announcements of CLE
codes. I doubt many sighted people stare at their computer screens for two
hours or more.

Last week, I had a similar thing happen with an ABA CLE.  Apparently, there
were things that came up on the screen during the webinar, but I had dialed
into the webinar and was accessing the content using a telephone so I did
not know.  Afterward, I was told I could not get CLE because I had not
responded to the prompts.  However, when I contacted the ABA, they fixed the
issue.

This may be a new accessibility issue that we should all start paying
attention to.

Subject: [blindLaw] accessibility of DC's mandatory ethics course

All,

I just registered for DC's mandatory ethics course for new admittees.
I would love to speak with someone with no usable vision who has taken the
course recently and can speak to its accessibility.  I learned, only after
registering, that I am to write down five random codes that display on the
screen during the course.  How have people handled this?  And is hte ocurse
itself accessible?  I plan to reach out to the DC bar, but my experience has
been that people are slow to respond given the pandemic, and I only have 14
days to complete the course before incurring outrageous additional
boondoggle fees.  any assistance is gratefully appreciatted.

Best,
Laura
