Hi all,
All the people who have posted to this thread have been thoughtful and
cogent in their posts.
My only disagreement with Monica is that when designing these options
for Bookshare, might they be designed in a modular form so that those
who need specific ones could install only those ones and not others?
I am particularly thinking of the population of novice and low
intermediate users. If the add-ons were just that, a series of modules
which could be downloaded and installed at the user's discretion, that
would help a great deal.
One thing I've found as a trainer is that many users become confused
and frustrated when they are confronted with a toolbar or pop-up
something which they aren't expecting. If the basic design of the web
site could be kept as is, that would be super! You might consider
putting these toolbars and so on in the downloads area so that those
who need them can access them.
It is quite true that accessibility is not the same for all.
Therefore, I favor a vanilla site and modular add-ons which would be
designed for different segments of the population we serve.
Ann P.
