Check links for units 1 and 2

[Rek3650]

The lessons in unit 1 and 2 need to have all of their links checked. They need to be visited to see if their still up and then checked to see if screen readers can still read them. If they are down or unreadable then a suitable replacement should be found.

[Rek3650]

I am currently looking through unit 2

[ObaoziO]

Are we checking the entire site or just the page the link leads to?

[Rek3650]

just the page it links to.

[ObaoziO]

I'm going to start on Unit1 5-7.docx links.

Regarding the Unit1 5-6.dox file: Are the blue ones, in screenshot, supposed to have links to it? Also, does it matter if wikipedia is repeated?

Hi,

The rubric is under the rubrics folder, and the website scavenger hunt is
in the Student Files folder for Unit 1.

They are docs not urls.

About testing the urls, how to access a menu like this:

https://archive.org/#maincontent

[ObaoziO]

✓ VoiceOver: VO+A and/or VO+L and some tab
(tested in Safari)

【Unit1 5-7.docx】All links works
• http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ ✓
• https://archive.org ✓

• overall VO+A and VO+L arrow keys works, except, not sure how to navigate the menu

• https://www.wikipedia.org ✓
• http://www.britannica.com ✓
• http://maps.yahoo.com/ ✓
• http://www.imdb.com ✓
• http://www.switchboard.com ✓
• http://www.yellowpages.com ✓
• http://www.howstuffworks.com ✓
• http://www.youtube.com ✓
• http://howcast.com ✓

• While using VO-A, when inside the search textfield, a search pop-up appears and both of the follow happened at least once:
  1. when closed, VoiceOver starts from beginning of page again
  2. VoiceOver continues reading the rest of the page (ignoring the pop-up)

• http://www.delicious.com ✓
• http://www.stumbleupon.com ✓
• https://www.twitter.com ✓

【Unit1 11-14 iSonic alternative.docx】
• http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/audiomap/ ✓

【Unit1 15-16 docx】
• http://www.justriddlesandmore.com/direct.html ✓

【Unit1 17-19.docx】
• http://www.csunplugged.com ✓

[ObaoziO]

I'm pretty sure those are all the links in Unit 1.

Since it's only tested in Safari so far, Shannon (Chrome) and I (Firefox) will split up testing in Chrome and Firefox.

【Unit1 5-7.docx】All links works
• http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ ✓
• https://archive.org ✓

• overall VO+A and VO+L arrow keys works, except, not sure how to navigate the menu

• skipped over the colorful icons at least once, but then continues to work after refreshing the page (more than a couple times):
  

• skips over the "SEE MORE" link:

  

• https://www.wikipedia.org ✓
• http://www.britannica.com ✓
• http://maps.yahoo.com/

• skips over navigation bar and everything in the same line/div where "Yahoo!" is except "Yahoo!"

• http://www.imdb.com

• reads the search button first, as "button", after reading the IMDb linked home page icon twice

• skips over the navigation bar under the search fields and the section with "Help" and "Login":

  

• http://www.switchboard.com ✓overall works except: >> Replaced with http://www.whitepages.com/

• compare to Safari, Firefox skips over the top search section and the advertisement (the ad doesn't matter much):

  

• http://www.yellowpages.com >> Replaced with http://www.whitepages.com/

• skips over the top banner section and the search text fields:

- doesn't read right sidebar, and the "Feedback" tab

• http://www.howstuffworks.com

• skips the 4 images and corresponding texts under "GREAT STUFF" and items under "CHECK OUT OUR SHOWS" and "ALL ABOUT MYSTERIES"
• do not read the "submit" button under the poll

• http://www.youtube.com

• skips enter side navigation under the YouTube logo
• reads the entire main contents sections in one instead of one video's detail one by one when compared to Safari
• reads twice starting "Skip Navigation, button", YouTube logo, "Guide, button", search text field and button, Sign in and Upload buttons, and "What to Watch" and "Music" tabs/links

• http://howcast.com

• http://www.delicious.com ✓
• http://www.stumbleupon.com

• reads "main, Skip to Main Content" and "main, Skip to Site Navigation" after "list 2 items", which doesn't do anything when press enter or space keys
• doesn't read the "StumbleUpon" logo

• https://www.twitter.com

• seems to repeat the side navigation links when using VO-A
• when browser sizes is smaller than a certain size, the "Log in" and "Sign up" section is on the left side and that's accessible, but when bigger than that certain size, VoiceOver do not read that Log in and Sign up section at all

【Unit1 11-14 iSonic alternative.docx】
• http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/audiomap/

• skips over navigation bar, accessible otherwise

【Unit1 15-16 docx】
• http://www.justriddlesandmore.com/direct.html ✓

• the ads are annoying but all contents such as texts and links are accessible

【Unit1 17-19.docx】
• http://www.csunplugged.com ✓

• overall accessible
• reads weirdly with the logo image at the top of the page
• reads and acts weirdly with the image and video slider

✓ VoiceOver: VO+ arrow keys
(Chrome)
【Unit1 5-7.docx】All links works
• http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/ ✓
• https://archive.org ✓ (This website does some wonky stuff with the screen reader. You can access everything, but the labels are strange)

This is what VoiceOver shows when on the exit button. It reads out "link row-boat"
Chrome only worked with VO+arrow keys. I think that we should try to find a different website because this can be hard to navigate. Would it be possible to replace this with another website? This is a list of related websites: http://www.topsimilarsites.com/similar-to/archive.org

• https://www.wikipedia.org
search bar is not labeled and the search button is an arrow
• http://www.britannica.com
search bar is not labeled and the search button is an emoji
• http://maps.yahoo.com/
• http://www.imdb.com
search bar is not labeled and you cannot access the search button
• http://www.howstuffworks.com
search bar is not labeled and search button is an image
• http://www.youtube.com
• http://www.delicious.com
• http://www.stumbleupon.com
• https://www.twitter.com
•https://blogger.com

•https://tumblr.com (Chrome/Safari/FireFox)
login and signup pages are horrible for accesibility. Lesson 5-7 for the jigsaw activity suggests this website. The actual dashboard, tag searches, and most blogs (depending on the users theme) work fine. Getting there is an issue

• http://www.switchboard.com
some of the search bars are labeled some aren't, still usable
• http://www.yellowpages.com
Could replace switchboard.com and yellowpages.com with http://www.whitepages.com/
(works well with Chrome, Safari and FireFox)

• http://howcast.com
•While using VO-A, when inside the search textfield, a search pop-up appears and both of the follow happened at least once:
•when closed, VoiceOver starts from beginning of page again VoiceOver continues reading the rest of the page (ignoring the pop-up)
•Not overly accessible. Seems like it could be difficult because of the pop-up

【Unit1 11-14 iSonic alternative.docx】
• http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/audiomap/
• Really good one. Has great description of the images.

【Unit1 15-16 docx】
• http://www.justriddlesandmore.com/direct.html
• Some of the areas VoiceOver reads are very long

【Unit1 17-19.docx】
• http://www.csunplugged.com
• This is not a great one. The images are not properly labeled, however the it is possible to get to the file that is needed to be downloaded without obstacle.
• PDF is opened in web so if they want to save they will need to use "Command" + "S"

[smcintosh881]

I cant really find anything similar to http://archive.org
If we have them start at http://archive.org/web/ which is a less busy page. The labels are still poor for navigation.
The different versions of the website are uploaded as images, which don't have labels explaining the image, therefore it will be difficult/impossible for students to know any difference between a new and old version of a website.
I think we might need to replace this activity in the lesson plan. Currently it is used to compare the schools current website with an older version of it. I don't think this activity would be best for all students.
Also Yelp was mentioned but not in the bulleted list

[ObaoziO]

There are more than a couple sites that seems to skip over the navigation like YouTube with VoiceOver on Firefox.
