Skoolegy (self.Blind)
submitted by Readinghood_13
I wasn't sure if I should mark this as technology or question. So on top of everything happening with vertual school and Covid my district has decided that we're going to start using a new software called skoolegy. Neither me or my VI teacher can preview it because my district hasn't signed on yet or something so we don't have acounts. So is their anyone who uses this site that can tell me anything about it? I read their accessibility statement but I haven't and can't preview it and I would like to get some information on it before the schoolyear starts. I'm using the mobile app because I don't have a computer.

The site worked decently enough for me on a Windows machine with any Chrome-based browser and the NVDA screen-reader, but I personally had assignments emailed since PDF's were pretty common-place. At the time, I did not have a kurzweil1000 to scan them. So you might want to ask to have your assignments emailed to you or your VI.

I used the desktop site, and it was pretty clunky and hard to navigate. I asked all my teachers to e-mail me my assignments and grades, which saved me lots of time. The app may be more accessible though, I haven’t used it.
