Hi, I started college at Normandale Community College in Bloomington, Minnesota last week. I am taking a pre-college course in math in order to refresh my my high level math skills. This course uses a new website that may sound familiar to you, Aleks spelled ALEKS, not Alex like the name. It is accessible as far as navigation, but with there new interface, doing the problems is cumbersome because while the buttons are labeled, the access to there content is impossible with NVDA, VoiceOver, or JAWS. Meaning, when it comes to actually activating the button and putting in a fraction or some thing of that natre, for example, is cumbersome. I and the Normandale staff have told these people these issues, and they did put me on the older interface that was supposedly more accessible, which, it is as far as equations, but when it comes to intering fractions or sqare roots, for example, using the buttons for them, or entering the answers in to the box indicated, is impossible, still. Not to mention, when it comes to graphs or number lines, I have to have some one work with me on those particular problems because those areas are definitely accessible. Do you guys have any other alternatives to doing math with a website like the one mentioned above that is a lot more accessible than this one, that you have used to do math in college successfully? That would be greatly appreciated.
