Welcome to Illinois State University
Had an authentic review of their Sakai instance by a student using JAWS.
*** Please notes this defects were found using JAWS 16.0 reader, viewing Illinois State University Sakai CLE 10.6 environment ( https://reggienet.illinoisstate.edu/ )
DEFECT ACB-61)
1) When trying to create a new topic in the “forum” tab, user is unable to proceed after the first page because the “continue” button dos not respond.
(DEFECT ACB-60)
2) When trying to create an assignment, the “add attachment” button does not respond, and I am also not able to post the assignment, because the “post” button also does not respond.
(DEFECT ACB-59) - Gradebook 2
3) When in the “gradebook” tab, I am unable to click on the edit button without the page no longer responding.
(DEFECT ACB-58)
4) When trying to add an event to the “schedule” tab, I am unable to add an attachment or even post the event.
(DEFECT ACB-57)
5) When trying to post a new announcement, the “post” button does not work. Also, the key commands that are given to complete the actions such as “alt+shift+s” do not respond.
(DEFECT ACB-56)
6) When trying to create a new announcement, the “add attachment” button does not respond.
(DEFECT ACB-55)
7) When in the “announcements” tab, I tried to remove an announcement that I had previously posted, but I was not able to. Also, when going in to edit this same post I was not able to cancel the action using the “cancel” button.
(DEFECT ACB-54)
8) When in the syllabus tab, it is unclear where to attach a file, since the only options are “add” or “bulk add”. When clicking on the “add” button a pop-up comes up to add a title for the document, but no button to attach.
(DEFECT - ACB-53)
9) When trying to create an assessment, adding new questions is not straight forward. It is unclear where the question must be typed since there is no label indicating the text box for the question.
(DEFECT ACB-52)
10) When entering the gradebook tab, the table does not load, which does not allow for putting in information.
(DEFECT ACB-43)
11) The “reset” button at the top of each tab/page does not specify what it will reset, which can be confusing to someone who is new to the page, or cannot see that the button is next to the title of that page.
(DEFECT ACB-47)
12) When reading the rows and columns on the “schedule” tab, the rows and columns are not read as they are labelled. For example, in other ISU websites that have tables, before reading the content that is on a specific row or column, JAWS says what column or row it is reading.
(DEFECT ACB-46)
13) When in the “schedule” tab, some content is also skipped over, and it is not until I return to the top and work my way down that I gather the entire information that is on the page.
(DEFECT ACB-45)
14) When in the “message” tab, after opening a message the content is randomly skipped over and not read. The area skipped is not constant or specific. I am able to read the information only after I return to the top of the page and proceed down.
(DEFECT ACB-44)
15) When in the “assignments” tab, just like in “resources” and “messages” some of the content is skipped over when trying to read the page content. Again, the location when content begins to be skipped is not constant or specific.
(DEFECT ACB-42)
16) When in the “resources” tab, just like in the “message” tab, some of the content is skipped over when hitting the down arrow to read the information on the page.
(DEFECT ACB-41)
17) When in the “announcements” tab, the table where the announcements are listed is presented and explained, but when entering the table, the announcements are not read. Rather the assignments are presented

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2995 https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2217 Provide a valid label for form fields
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2994 Ensure screen reader specific content is rendered off-screen rather than hidden or not displayed: Samigo use of skip class
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-2217 Form field labeling is missing in many areas
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-31886 Sites Nav misplaced (Mrphs-sitesNav__menuitem)
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-31864 Visual indication of focus needed
Which approach makes the most sense:
Get :focus right on all relevant classes
Use a JS-based solution, as in MozDev’s Keyboard-navigable JavaScript widgets https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/Keyboard-navigable_JavaScript_widgets
