The new version 3.5.0 completes a long list of new accessibility features and also adds a new type of learning activity to Speak Agent! Here are the details:
Accessibility Level AA
The Speak Agent platform has now achieved Level AA accessibility with the current version of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) using the Google Chrome web browser. Chrome comes with Chromebooks and is freely available for installation on all Microsoft and Apple computers as well.
New Activity: Sort It Out
- Math students, for example, may sort terms into rational or irrational number categories or sort transformations into rigid or non-rigid transformations.
- Science students analyze and interpret data by categorizing observations. For example, they may sort evidence by whether each observation "supports" or "does not support" a claim.
