Assessment for Psychiatry Online by Centennial - Module 3: Interface Structure

Submitted by bkahn@centenni… 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: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: I often can't see the keyboard focus. I have started new pages where I can't seem to get to some elements, and others where I can.
If moving keyboard focus away from a component requires more than arrow or tab keys, is this clearly indicated on the page?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: The keyboard navigation was too inconsistent for me to tell if I needed to do something I wasn't doing, or if that wasn't an issue.
Is default keyboard navigation order logical and intuitive, following the visual flow of the page as described above?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: Sometimes it does. In others, it seems to skip from the top to the bottom of the page, before going to the middle of the page. In these instances, I often can't find the focus until it shows up in the middle.
When using a keyboard to navigate the interface, is the keyboard focus indicator visible?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: I often couldn't see where the focus was when navigating through a web page. Sometimes it seems invisible, other times, it is there but very subtle, and sometimes it is obvious. I often had to use the pop-up link at the bottom of the page, but sometimes this was unhelpful.
Does all interactive functionality work via keyboard, and does it behave consistently and as expected?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: I don't find it works consistently across all pages.
Does focus order move sequentially across form fields?
Answer: Not Applicable
Score: -1
Notes: Few form fields in this database.
Are there skip links (either visible or invisible)?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: I have come across skip links on occasion. I find the keyboard navigation too inconsistent to give this an Always rating.
Are skip links visible or invisible?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes: Invisible.
Are skip links (visible or invisible) positioned prominently near the beginning of the page?
Answer: Sometimes
Score: 1
Notes: I have had some at the beginning, but then there was another one at the footer allowing you to skip the carousel at the bottom.
Are skip links labelled properly?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Are skip links accessible via keyboard?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Do anchors (link destinations) appear at the beginning of the relevant content?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Do skip navigation controls appear in the same place on every page?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does the reader capture accurate information as it appears in the table and the columns and rows?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does the screen reader successfully navigate from one frame to another?
Answer: Always
Score: 2
Notes:
Does each frame have a meaningful title that tells the user the purpose of the frame?
Answer: Never
Score: 0
Notes: There is no title for different frames.
When navigating the page using keyboard navigation, is the user able to navigate effectively from one frame to the next?
