The Assignments tool assignment Reorder tool is not accessibile using screen reading software

JAWS users cannot reorder the assignments utilizing screen reading software. Other screen reading software are not provided with information on where they are moving the selected item.

Recommended remediation:

Modify the code to follow http://fluidproject.org/releases/1.4/demos/reorderer/listReorderer/demo.html because this implementation provides certain screen reading software with list position information when moving an assignment (e.g., move from 1 of 6 to 2 of 6).

An accessible alternative is needed for uses of JAWS screen reading software. A link can be provided to instructions, an unordered list which contains a select element for each item and a submit button. This set of form controls along the with the required coding will allow screen reader users to select a new position for one or multiple items without requiring a complicated set of key strokes.
