Pronouns
If desired, complete your pronouns by clicking "Allow others to see my pronouns" and selecting " Use different Pronouns" and typing into the text box.
Your pronouns will be visible to staff and students in areas such as your profile card or the unit classlist.
Font Settings
Adjusting the font size changes the default font and size of text in the system. It does not affect images, documents, and other objects such as math equations.
Dialog Setting
The Show secondary window as options enables you to set secondary windows as pop-ups instead of dialog boxes. This setting helps screen readers and other assistive technologies separate the content of the secondary window from the main window. If you are using assistive technology such as a screen reader, we strongly recommend showing secondary windows as pop-ups.
HTML Editor Settings
Provides the option for you to turn off the rich text editor. The HTML editor has many additional rich text features that might be difficult to navigate with assistive technology. This option simplifies pages that have text fields, while still allowing you to include HTML content.
Reading Content
You can turn off the option to automatically mark content as read as you scroll through it.
Video Settings
Select Optimize video presentation for programmatically-driven assistive technologies if you use assistive technology, such as a screen reader, to navigate the web. This option ensures that your assistive technology can detect embedded videos; it does not affect the accessibility of specific video players.
