Review of Viewing Interface (preview)

General

  • There seems to be reasonable use of html5 structural element (section, article, header, etc).
  • Within the <article>
    • OER title is <h1>,
    • "headings" are <h2>,
    • "subheadings" are <h3>.
  • Bold, underline and italic are accomplished using <b>, <u> and <i>.
  • The Universal Subtitles widget is inserting a <style> element into the widget markup.
  • Image and video labels are nicely associated using <figure> and <figcaption> elements.
  • Image have no alt text.
  • <figcaption> uses <strong> for file name in caption - it probably shouldn't (meant for importance); the <strong> element has custom styles in the CSS.
  • Inside the Table of Contents, subheading lists are not defined inside the <li> of the related header.
    i.e. current:
    Code Block
    html
    html
    
      <li>Heading</li>
      <ul>
        <li>sub heading</li>
      </ul>
      <li>Heading</li>
    
    recommended:
    Code Block
    html
    html
    
      <li>Heading
        <ul>
          <li>sub heading</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>Heading</li>
    

Keyboard access

  • When tabbing around, there is no visual indication of focus.
  • The ToC is tabbable.
  • In Firefox, tab focus gets stuck inside first video player (ok in IE9, Chrome).

Review of Authoring Interface

General

  • All of the authoring steps (write, describe, submit) are present in the DOM at the same time, visually positioned in a horizontal arrangement: "future" steps are positioned to the right of the current step, "previous" steps to the left. This causes issues with keyboard navigation: all controls are on the page, so tabbing moves through all of them.

...

  • On the 'publish' page, if page made too narrow, controls slide over top of 'current license' box (buttons also drop too low, with no scrollbar).

Keyboard

...

access

  • buttons keyboard-accessible, but no visual feedback of focus
  • buttons not activatable using "space bar"
  • text style drop-down not usable with keyboard (no way to choose a style - nothing happens)
  • on the 'describe' page, the keyword "buttons" are not keyboard accessible, so you can't read them or delete them
  • can't edit OER title using keyboard
  • can't tab to table of contents at all
  • in FF, can't tab to table of contents or edit area
  • in Chrome, can tab to content, and to some content within the content (table controls)
  • in IE9, can tab to content, and to some content within the content (table controls, video controls)
  • 'escape' key does not dismiss popups (e.g. link dialog, footnote dialog)
