[nabs-l] EverFi

[Justin Heard]

Yes. I used this program for my economics class. While I did find some 
accessibility bugs, I was able to work around them. Your specific course 
could be different though, which is usually the case with online classes.

I was using NVDA with Firefox on Windows 7. Windows 10 wasn't out at the 
time. Maybe that combination would work for you, if you're not using it 
already? there shouldn't be a huge accessibility difference if you're 
using Windows 10 with Firefox though, so I wouldn't focus too much on 
the operating system.

> Hi,
> Has anyone used EverFi. EverFi is this big national educational technology site for k-12 and college. My problem is explained in the email below. I took all names and email addresses out when I forwarded this to you all. I just want to know if any of you have had to use this site. I called as I didn’t have the info to fill out the support form. The person I spoke to basically had no clue about accessibility or other  formats. My TVI found the email of the EverFi representative for our area, and I emailed her. I just want equal access to the info, and my TVI is doing everything in her power to get it for me. I have no worries about getting what I need. However, I want this website to be accessible for future students. I am not looking for a fight, it would just be good to know if anyone else has had these problems.

>> Hi,
>>      My name is Mikayla Gephart. My Civics and Economics class will be using the BB&T Financial Foundations course on EverFi. We are preparing to use this course in a few weeks. I am blind and use a screenreader to access content online. In preparing for the upcoming course, I discovered that the course is inaccessible with my screenreader. The course content is in .img format, and my screenreader does not recognize words in this format. I would like for the course.to be made accessible for future students using this course, but in the meantime, I will need to complete this project for my class. Can EverFi provide the material in an alternative format? Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to working together.. Please reply all so that my teacher who works with me on accessing assignments can be part of the discussion. Thank you.
