I have a student who tried some stuff, and I can see if she will answer this. If I recall correctly, she hated the frames, and had this to say about sagenb.
"Then there was the oddity I noticed from the sagenb.org page after signing in via Google. When you click on read documentation from there, screen readers can't see it at all. All I get is the word blank all the way down the middle of the page. I have no idea what that's about. It could just be internet explorer being stupid, I don't know. But it was very interesting to say the least." She also pointed out that not having Sage native on Windows makes things a lot harder for blind students; or at least her (actually semi-professional, she's not just a user but codes as well) opinion is that Windows has vastly more options along these lines, and apparently VB was not as good, though I'm not sure if she tried it. Should I ask her for more feedback? - kcrisman On Thursday, June 14, 2012 2:45:21 PM UTC-4, William wrote: > > Hi, > > Does anybody have any thoughts about how to answer this? > > William > > > > > Dear Mr. Stein, > > I am an Instructional Design Assistant working with faculty at Penn > State to design online courses.
