>>> Hi Mikayla,
>>> I just started using Socrative yesterday in my history class. I have had no problems with open-ended questions because JAWS reads the edit box to type my answer. However, I had difficulty with the multiple-choice questions. There was no way for me to tell whether my answer had been selected. There are no radio buttons, so I pressed enter on the answer I wanted. JAWS did not tell me whether my answer had actually been selected.
