[NABS-L] An online site called InQuizitive

[D'Agostino, Alfred]

I have been in contact with the Norton rep regarding Inquisitive. Her e-mail indicated that there were alternative keystrokes for navigation - no other details.

I do not have direct experience with Inquisitive software. However, I have done some research through the W. W. Norton website. The software can ve integrated into a Learning Management system like Blackboard and may be accompanied by a custom-made e-book. It appears that the assessments/activities  (quizzes/reviews) function using 'drag and drop' control with the mouse. I do not know if there are alternative keystroke functions that are available. I have an e-mail into a company representative and I am waiting for a reply and phone contact for further clarification. I have not had access to a demo version to test svreen reader accessibility.

Hi all,

      I hope you all are enjoying the last few days of your holiday break.

     I am preparing for my classes to start on Monday, and was able to get my Political Science textbook on BookShare. However, I just found out that my professor uses an online system that comes with a purchase of the book, called InQuizitive. I can purchase a code for InQuizitive separately, but do not want to waste my money if it is inaccessible. Does anyone have experience with InQuizitive, and if so, is it accessible? Thanks for any help.

Mikayla
