Select the Test Assignment

When navigating to the test assignment a screen reader user gets stuck in the Assignments list page iframe and cannot access any of the normal sakai interface links (worksites, tools, logout). This is a Firefox only issue.

The screen-reader user should not be trapped in the iframe because it will cause confusion and they may be unable to complete their desired task.  CKeditor may be to blame. more research into the issue is needed before a solution can be suggested.

Critical

1. fixed. CKEditor has keyboard shortcuts to help move focus in and out of the editor.  These need to be included along with instructions in the help documentation.

Select the Test Assignment

The table which lists the assignment information on the "Assignments List' page has a table summary which appears to be out of date and inaccurate.

The table summary should be modified so that it its easily understood and contains accurate information. This summary appears to be copied from the instructor side of the tool and discusses table columns that do not exist.  Every table should have a unique and descriptive table summary.

<table class="listHier lines nolines" cellspacing="0" border="0" summary="List of course assignments. Column headers are also links which can be used to sort the table by that column. Column 1: Indicates if the assignment has attachments (no table header). Column 2: assignment title and links to submit assignment. Column 3: status of assignment submission. Column 4: Beginning date and time assignment may be submitted . Column 5: Assignment due date.">

Assignment information table summary does not make sense or provide useful information.

The table summary should be removed. The table is not complex enough to need a table summary.
