Assessment for 4 Seasons of Reconciliation by Confederation - Module 3: Interface Structure

Submitted by swalker7@confe… on
Can the purpose of each link be determined from the link text, or from the link text together with its surrounding context?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Can keyboard focus be moved to all page elements?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: Tab key works for highlighting all elements - arrow keys do not
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: Yes, but then the focus is lost sometimes as it is focusing on something that may be hidden, or really hard to see.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The focus indicator is a dotted outline, or line, and can be very difficult to see in some instances.
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The tab key works, but the arrows only move the page up and down. Enter can be used to open items.
Does focus order move sequentially across form fields?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The focus order is sequential in a form, and the arrow keys can be used to help select radial buttons. However, the screen reader does not work.

Does the reader capture accurate information as it appears in the table and the columns and rows?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: It actually captured the alternate text that doesn't show up when hovering over images with the mouse - but only with the Read&Write extension, not with NVDA
Does the screen reader successfully navigate from one frame to another?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: Again, Read&Write does read the frames in order, but NVDA didn't capture any content
Does each frame have a meaningful title that tells the user the purpose of the frame?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
When navigating the page using keyboard navigation, is the user able to navigate effectively from one frame to the next?
Answer: Always
