Florida State University sued for inaccessible eLearning system
no
The students, Christopher Toth and Jamie Principato, were unable to access homework and tests in a mathematics class because the eLearning system, eGrade, was incompatible with screen reader technology.
Furthermore, students were required to use small remote-control ‘clickers’ to answer multiple-choice questions during lectures, which were also not accessible to Toth and Principato.
The students’ case was filed with help from the National Federation of the Blind, which has filed similar accessibility complaints against other institutions.
