Agenda:

UVa enhancements to Tests and Quizzes
  • UVa Developers are working on the samigo timer code.
  • There will be extensive samigo testing as a result -  asking if anyone would be interested in helping  to do the accessibility side of testing as students - i.e. I would add someone to my site and have them try taking tests with a screen reader, etc.
  • UVa proposal update- Trisha
Brief update on timelines for 11.3 and 12.0  (I'll keep it real short and respond to any questions. Already mentioned on Sakai-dev list and Apereo T&L call. All dates tentative. Target for WCAG2 ?- Neal
fixing the new feature https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1408 (says resolved, but really needed a lot of re-work. Almost done. Will need a lot of QA). 
Font Awesome  - alt text ?


Related SAK-29648 - we need to make a JIRA to indicate that there's no alternative method to convey meaning for font awesome icons.
