Buzz follows W3C accessibility guidelines for screens configured as table data: Grid (Interactive Tabular Data and Layout Containers) Pattern.

The QuickNav tool allows users to use the keyboard to quickly navigate to any screen in Buzz from wherever you are in the application, including activities!

• Teachers and students can jump to enrollments and activities, or click on any of the screens listed to jump to them.
• Admins can search by ID, domain name, course name, or user name and jump to the desired screen, or click on any of the screens listed and jump to them.

How do I use QuickNav easy navigation?

In instances where Buzz includes tools that can be manipulated onscreen using the mouse, we include an Actions toolbar that is opened with a single click and allows users to move and, in some cases, rotate those items using single clicks.

The following assessment tools include this Actions toolbar:

• Calculators
• Protractor
• Rulers
• Companion material
• Assessment Descriptions

To display and use an actions toolbar:

1. Click the cross-arrows icon next to the tool or in a window's header (both shown below) to expand the actions toolbar.

2. Click the rabbit icon to increase the distance each arrow moves the item (not included for all tools).
3. Click the up, down, left, and right arrows to move the item on the screen.
4. Click the rotate left and rotate right arrows to rotate the item's orientation on the screen (not included for all tools).

For assessment questions that ask users to drag and drop items using a mouse, Buzz includes a toolbar button that enables Single-pointer mode. When enabled, Single-pointer mode allows users to answer those questions without dragging the mouse, which can be difficult for users on certain devices. 

Single-pointer mode enables alternatives for the following drag-and-drop questions:

• Dropdown matching is the alternative for Matching inline drag-and-drop questions.
• Checkbox matching is the alternative for Matching categorization drag-and-drop questions.
• Click to drag/Click to drop is the alternative for all other Matching drag-and-drop questions.
• List item arrows is the alternative for Ordering drag-and-drop questions.

For items in a list that can be reordered using drag-and-drop, users can also open arrow buttons for each item to move them. List item arrows can be displayed when reordering course cards and when completing Ordering drag-and-drop questions.

To display and use list item arrows:

1. Items in a list that can be reordered have drag handle icons next to them.
2. Click anywhere on an item in the list, to display arrow buttons.
   • Note: To display arrow buttons for Ordering drag-and-drop questions, users enable Single-pointer mode from the toolbar instead of clicking an item on the list.

3. Use the arrows to move items up and down in the list. You can hide the buttons by clicking once on an item.
