Neoportal Chat Accessibility Walkthrough Script

This walkthrough is for the Student persona.

Start of walkthrough script

  • Login with the "neochatstu1" user account.
  • Activate the neoportal chat window. 
  • Open a connection with "neochatstu2"
  • Send message to "neochatstu2". Your message should be announced to you as you send it.

Login with the second user account and have a real chat

This second computer is only being used so a real conversation can be held. It does not need to have any adaptive technology unless required by the operator of this walkthrough.

  • While still logged in and in the chat room on the first computer, use a second computer to login with the "neochatstu2" user account.
  • On the second computer, activate the Neoportal chat link. 
  • Send a message from the second computer (the "archatstu2" account) to the first computer.

Read messages

  • Verify the message sent from "neochatstu2" is announced by the screen reader on the "neochatstu1" computer. Also verify that the message can be read in the message history list and that the sender's identity is apparent. 

Send and and receive more messages as needed

  • Send chat messages from each computer as needed to verify the functional accessibility of the chat room feature. Make sure the message history is accessible.

Logout and end of script

  • Logout of Sakai from both computers.
