Per Andrea’s request--was able to test this issue on trunk/master (Maria DB branch) and 23.x (Maria DB branch) using JAWS+Chrome, and was able to verify that the “Announcements” widget area and “Grades” widget area of the “Dashboard” are displaying the correct information about the Assignment and Course Site…
Example of how information is being displayed in the “Announcements” widget area of the “Dashboard” in Instructor view:
Assignment: Open Date for ‘’(name of Assignment’’(name of Course Site)
Link click to be taken to the Announcement
(note: the quotes around the name of the Assignment are actually two successive apostrophes as opposed to a quote symbol??)
Example of how information is being displayed in the “Grades” widget area of the “Dashboard” in Instructor view:
3 ungraded item(s)
(name of Course Site) / (name of Assignment)
10.00
Link click to be taken to the Grades

Hi - in trunk it does have a name, see screenshot. It is not as informative as it should, as you indicate. The numbers and letters may have been the screen reader attempting to read the SVG icon, which now has aria-hidden=”true”

The arrow links under the view column in both the Grades and Announcements widgets are missing accessible name. When a screen reader user navigates to any of these arrows, the screen reader announces a bunch of numbers and letters. This accessible name should be associated with its respective course/assignment and announce "View, [course/assignment name]."
