Raveena demonstrates how to navigate and complete a drag-and-drop exercise on the Macmillan Learning website using JAWS Drag n Drop screen reader commands. She begins by turning off the virtual cursor with “Insert + Z” and then tabs to the answer bank. To lift an answer, she presses “Space,” then uses “Shift + Tab” to move the item to the correct bin and presses “Space” again to drop it.
She describes the process while placing items into three bins: Abundant Inputs, Mass Production, and Specialized Skills. As she navigates through the answer bank, she explains each action, ensuring clarity for users following along. For instance, when encountering the answer “Japan’s comparative advantage in automobile manufacturing,” Raveena picks up the item with “Space,” shift tabs to the correct bin, and drops it with “Space” again.
Double Check Work after JAWS Drag n Drop
Raveena emphasizes the importance of verifying answers. After placing an item, she recommends tabbing back to the answer bank to ensure no items are left. She also notes that when an item is correctly placed, JAWS will confirm it by saying “item dropped in.” If the item is incorrectly placed, it will say “placed in item,” prompting users to recheck their work.
To submit the answers, Raveena turns the virtual cursor back on with “Insert + Z” and uses the “Control + F” command to search for the “Submit Answer” button. She enters “submit” and presses “Enter” to locate the button quickly. After submitting, JAWS provides feedback, indicating whether the answers were correct.
Raveena concludes by highlighting the effectiveness of using these commands for JAWS drag n drop tasks. She encourages users to practice these steps to enhance their efficiency and accuracy when completing similar exercises. This method ensures that visually impaired users can fully engage with interactive online content, making learning accessible and manageable. JAWS Drag n Drop is just one component of learning advanced keyboard commands in College. Make sure you computer is working well to keep your screen reader happy.
As a side note, getting a hobby like rock climbing, makes one well rounded as Raveena also demonstrates by scaling a wall at the Olympics.
