[nabs-l] My Math Lab & JAWS

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,

I'm surprised you said that. As others said, my math lab is improving.
But access issues are still there.
Shikha, I do not know how you gwoked MML when most of us cannot.

Its my understanding when I last researched this that my math lab still
uses adobe flash. This software which has changing pictures makes it 
inaccessible.
When I tried to use it several years ago, it was not accessible at all. What 
I did was book work for homework instead.

I doubt it will be accessible also because its math and you have graphs and 
figures in math.
So if you have to use MML, I'd  suggest you seek out sighted assistance for 
your homework such as a tutor or reader.
You will need sighted assistance to fill in the boxes and answers.

But, I don't think you should have to employ a sighted assistant to do your 
work.
A better approach might be to find an alternative with  your professor such 
as book problems from the text.

Doing your work independently will enable you to do it at your own pace and 
schedule, not someone else's.
Believe me, I've used readers a lot and know the pitfalls of scheduling 
conflicts and time constraints.

HTH,

Ashley

Hey,
My name is Shikha and I am from Georgia.  I have used my math lab and
it is positively and 100 percent accessable with JAWS.  I used my math
lab for college algrebra and it is wonderfully great with JAWS.  All
you have to do is press down arrows on the page, use tab, and enter.

Thanks,
