#Screen reader software is an example of what update
If you are using a Mac with Firefox or Safari and are having difficulty navigating using your keyboard, review and update your operating system and browser settings. In the sections below, notes are used to indicate where interactions may differ between experiences and course views in Blackboard Learn.

Frames removed and replaced with DIVs and iFrames After focus is given, these elements become active and follow typical keyboard interaction models.
To reduce the visual clutter on a page, a number of elements are hidden until they receive either mouse or keyboard focus. For example, the title of an assignment on a “Course Documents” page is an H3 so the user easily finds it. H3 headings are typically used as the title of content items or key content elements on a page. For example, a course page has two H2 headings: one for the course menu and one for the main content that is located immediately above the action bar on the content page. These headings are hidden and allow screen reader users to skip directly to each major page section. H2 headings are used to delineate major sections of a page. In Blackboard Learn, the page title, for example “Course Documents,” is always the H1. This gives users the ability to understand the structure of any page in the application quickly, and move to the appropriate section of the page or content item easily.Īs is required, a single H1 is provided to identify the page the user is looking at.
