Notes
WirisQuizzes is a web application that allows teachers to create questions, and it will enable students to answer and receive automatic evaluation and feedback. WirisQuizzes is not a questionnaire authoring tool; its question types must be integrated into a third-party questionnaire tool as new question types.
WirisQuizzes is a ready-to-use Moodle and Canvas LMS integration. Both Moodle and Canvas are implemented following WCAG guidelines and WirisQuizzes is integrated following the same accessibility criteria. Thanks to LTI technology, both Moodle and Canvas use the same interface for WirisQuizzes integration.
WirisQuizzes, as a web-based application, has these main features:
WirisQuizzes for students
Answering questions created with WirisQuizzes and receiving automatic evaluation and feedback.
This report only covers accessibility for Moodle and Canvas integrations. Any other integration is the responsibility of the integrator. Only Moodle interface is used for answering WirisQuizzes questions, as Canvas uses LTI technology.
WirisQuizzes for teachers
Creating/Editing WirisQuizzes questions
This report only covers accessibility for Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, and Brightspace integrations when creating/editing WirisQuizzes questions. Any other integration is the responsibility of the integrator. Only Moodle interface is used for editing WirisQuizzes questions, as Canvas uses LTI technology.
Adding mathematical content to questions
WirisQuizzes Studio handles all mathematical content in a Wiris question type. Studio interface doesn't depend on integrations.
MathType editor and CalcMe can also be used when creating or answering questions. You can find their VPAT reports here <Coming Soon> and here <Coming Soon>.
Note that CAS is the current calculator integrated into WirisQuizzes. In short, the CAS calculator will be replaced by CalcMe calculator, an up-to-date app that clearly improves CAS accessibility features. CalcMe is currently integrated into WirisQuizzes as a beta version. You can find CalcMe VPAT here <Coming Soon>.
WirisQuizzes for admins
Setting-up WirisQuizzes
This report only covers accessibility for Moodle and Canvas integrations when setting-up WirisQuizzes Any other integration is the integrator's responsibility.
Moodle interface is used when setting-up WirisQuizzes in Moodle.
Canvas interface is used when setting-up WirisQuizzes in Canvas.
WirisQuizzes as an authoring tool generates these products
Questions created in Moodle and Canvas integrations and its automatic evaluation and feedback. These questions and feedback can include MathType equation images, CalcMe embedded sessions and CalcMe graphical images.
You can read about CalcMe embedded sessions in the CalcMe VPAT report <Coming Soon>.
A third-party editor is used to edit the text for WirisQuizzes questions. Accessibility features applicable to text are the responsibility of these text editors. For Moodle and Canvas WirisQuizzes is integrated into TinyMCE or Atto, and both implement WAI-ARIA specifications to support accessibility WCAG guidelines.
In order to ease the reading of this report, each cell in the column "Conformance Level" and "Remarks and Explanations" is divided into two rows, corresponding to applicable requirements scopes "Web" and "Authoring tool". Note "web" mainly addresses features for teachers, and "authoring tool" primarily handles features for students. For the third applicable scope, "Support Documentation", you can find MathType 7 Support Documentation VPAT at docs.wiris.com.
Requirements related to "Software", "Closed Functionality Software", "non-web document", or "Product Docs" don't apply because WirisQuizzes is a web-based application, it is not closed functionality software, and all its documentation is the web.
Evaluation methods used
Visual inspection using assistive technologies. Testing is based on general product knowledge.
Table information for VPAT readers
For each standard, the criteria are listed by chapter in a table. The structures of the tables are: the first column contains the criteria being evaluated, the second column describes the level of conformance of the product regarding the requirements, and the third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.
When sections of criteria do not apply or are deemed by the customer as not applicable, the section is noted as such, and the rest of that table may be removed for that section.
When multiple standards are recorded in this document, the duplicative sections are noted and responded to only once. The duplicate entry will note the cross-reference to the data.
