[nabs-l] My Spanish Lab

[Beth Taurasi]

Question: why do we so heavily rely on the visual learning for 
all when the blind can't learn this wagy?  I learned Spanish 
through audible cues, not through pictures of stuff.  And I think 
it's all graphics, the buttons you mention.

Hi,
Yes, this is the main problem. Some of the flash content is not 
accessible
and the buttons are unlabeled, and also a lot of the practice and
assignments require you to match the vocabulary word or audio 
pronunciation
to the picture of it. Another issue with assignments is if there 
is a button
for an audio, it does not appear at all on the page so is not 
read. I am not
sure if it is something graphical or not.

 Hi,
 I was supposed to use  My math Lab for homework one semester.
 Its also a pearson product I believe. It was also inaccessible. 
the
 problems were in flash content or pictures that were not 
readable.

 I hope you can find a work around for this.

 As far as I know all of the Pearson labs are inaccessable. In a 
class I
 took last semester that used one of these programs I had to 
complete all
 of my assignments with the assistance of a reader.

 Hi all,
 Has anyone used My Spanish Lab for any of their Spanish courses? 
My
 instructor this semester is using it and counting it as 30 
percent of our
 final grade, and it seems to be rather inaccessible. Has anyone 
had any
 experiences of how to get around the inaccessability? I am using 
Jaws 10
 on my XP computer and Jaws 12 on my Windows 7 computer, and Jaws 
will not
 read the Etext or any of the assignments. Are there any other 
screen
 readers that work better with the Pearson labs? If it is 
completely
 inaccessible using any kind of screen reader, what have you all 
done in
 the past to complete your assignments in this type of lab?
 Thank you,
 Misty
