Next Week • Glossary review/updates; see notes below for today’s discussion and decisions about using pop-ups for glossary terms within courses. Pop-Ups for Glossary Terms Within Courses Discussion • Melissa: There may be times when pop-ups are useful, especially if they’re complicated or less familiar to the audience. • Mohamad: Proposed eliminating pop-ups, underlining glossary terms where they appear in a course, and stating (in the introduction or on the navigation page) that any underlined term has a definition in the glossary drop -down. The screen reader will be able to indicate to the reader if a term is underlined. (We’d also need to add an explanation to the accessibility instructions.) • Melissa: How do screen readers interact with pop-ups? • Patrick: Screen readers don’t read the pop-ups. • Melissa: What about using alt text for any pop-ups that are strategically selected (e.g., on a given slide, the first instance of a glossary term could be underlined if its definition is deemed important to include). • Mohamad: The screen reader will first read all the text on the slide, then notify the reader that there’s a box included with alt text, and the reader has the option of selecting the text to hear the definition. Could include an in -line box they can select. The text would need to indicate “start definition,” followed by the definition itself, and “end definition.” Also, in the glossary drop-down, we could code the term as a header and the text as body text for the purposes of the screen reader.
