The html pages of MyEconLab are currently readable by most screen readers. The questions in assignments and the Study Plan are rendered using a different technology, Flash, and we are working on making all of our content readable.

Pearson recently released an updated player that supports multiple choice questions with the JAWS screen reader: multiple choice questions can be read using JAWS, answering and interacting with the questions require specific keystroke combinations in JAWS. We are releasing this pre-beta player for two reasons: 1) it offers substantial improvements for students using our product with JAWS, and 2) we view these improvements as early stage and want customers to review them and help guide our next steps in improving the accessibility of MyEconLab.

You will need to install custom Adobe/Flex scripts for JAWS to use the MyEconLab Player as effectively as possible.

Please be aware that these custom scripts will only work with JAWS 10.

Download custom JAWS scripts for use with the MyEconLab Player.
