[Year 12 IT Apps] VITTA ITA exam 3

[Maggie Iaquinto]

Locating the navigation at the top is not necessarily a good choice for
visually impaired people. Often the logoff menu is found at the top
right. When they zoom in or make the textsize larger, the browser
creates scroll bars. If the navigation is always at the top right, then
visually impaired people need to use their mouse to scroll to the right
find a way to navigate. 

If the navigation were at the *top left*, this would not occur.

Using correct ALT tags and table header contents are a good use of HTML
for visually impaired people who need the page read out electronically.

VITTA ITA exam 3

Multichoice Q5 erratum - the suggested answer "A" is contradicted by its

explanation.  It should be "D".

Multichoice Q6 - It asks how to help make a web page more accessible for

people who are slightly visually impaired.  The options were:
A - adopting standard web and HTML code tags
B - avoiding the use of red and green colours together
C - locating a navigation system near the top of the page
D - all of the above

The suggested answer is D, but I fail to see how using standard HTML 
code tags would help such people.  Also, C would help anyone but how 
would it particularly help people with bad vision?  Any opinions?

I'd say the best answer would have been B.

3c worth (because of inflation in the past financial quarter)
