Accessibility #13

Closed gdkraus closed 3 years ago

gdkraus commented 9 years ago

Have you ever considered making the tool more accessible to users with disabilities? As it is now it's fairly good, but there are some improvements that need to be made for screen reader users - for instance, notifying users the status of whether or not a section is collapsed. You can do this with ARIA techniques. It would look something like Example 1 at the following.

I'm happy to work with you on this.

I've worked for accessibly on Grid and applied ARIA there. With Collapsed Topics it used to always be expanded for screen readers when that setting was there. I've not had time to take things further or more critically input from users on the specific changes needed.

If you have patches in the form of pull requests on the master branch, then I'll happily consider them thank you.

Any information please?

Hi, I'm not sure if gdkraus is still monitoring this issue... in a previous position at NCSU (ncsu.edu) he was highly involved with accessibility and Moodle, but he left this position in July, 2015.

@swatki Thanks, things moved on now, closing.
