When students use external screen readers to support their learning, they will see a button that allows the screen reader to skip directly to the main content for reading aloud, streamlining the learning process. This Skip to Main Content button appears at the top of the screen as shown below on lessons, the Course Map, and the student homepage.
Note
For EdgeEX courses, the Uses Screen Reader student option is available and should be turned ON. When enabled, videos will not auto-play (to avoid audio overlap with screen readers). Reference Updating a Student's Account for steps for enabling the option.
View the list of courses with screen reader capabilities to ensure an external screen reader will work.
Caution
This feature is only available to students using external screen readers. It is not available for use with Imagine Edgenuity's built-in read-aloud function.
