similarto this old thread, i've got a multiple choice slide set up with about ten choices or so, and resized, etc. to fit into two columns, which is working fine as expected for a sighted user. i ran into an issue though, trying to navigate the choices using JAWS.

upon further inspection back in form view, i see that the choices have been rearranged in a left-to-right, top-to-bottom order (so it's A, F, B, G, etc.). is there any way to manually set the focus order for the answer choices, so screen readers work as intended?


and/or is that something that could be implemented in the future? and/or can automatic formatting into columns be a thing? i've worked around needing more than ten answer choices with a custom question slide, but it would also be nice to support more than ten choices natively. thanks!


Hi Paul! Thanks for reaching out!



Please have a look at this support article on how to customize the Focus Order.



By default, the focus order is left to right and top to bottom. If you still have trouble or can't reorder the items, could you please share a copy of your project with us by submitting a case?


So I suppose something went wrong when I deployed the new module on my first sugar instance. Does anybody knows if there is a custom parameter or something else that defines that the focus drawer is available / disable for a module (and my module is not a BWC but a sidecar module).


The lesson here is a simple one. What is visible is what students are likely to be paying attention to. So, if there is a particular question and answer we want students attending to, it is a sensible idea to remove anything else.


But there was a problem. Her students\u2019 attention was elsewhere. Some were still doing the marking. Others were discussing their answers to other questions with their partner. The explanation the teacher gave to Question 6 was not heard by many of her students.


The easiest way to do this is to reveal just one answer at a time, so students\u2019 attention is firmly focused on the current question. An even more powerful way - although you might need to be an animation whizz - is to ensure only the current question and answer are visible to prevent students\u2019 attention from wandering back to previous questions.


I have setup a view with ajax enabled. I have also added an exposed filter with autosubmit on so that as the user types in the text field the view will automatically update. The problem is that when the form autosubmits, the text box loses focus.


The reason why the exposed filter looses focus is because the entire view is being replaced on ajax. If your form is being render by the same view there's just no way you're going to be able to keep focus.


You can always just "hack" your views.tpl.php to move your expose form out of the main view div. I use "hack" here because this is not a nice option. This will place the form right above your view, but views JS code is only going to replace the view div. That being said the JS isn't going to just work. You'll need to fix that.


In the first classroom the instruction is largely didactic: the instructor controls the classroom, delivers information, and periodically calls on students at random to answer questions or respond to a prompt. In this scenario, students are not challenged to think, but rather must be ready to repeat information when called upon. In other words, we run the risk of positioning students to believe that learning is merely doing what the instructor says. In this scenario, an instructor runs the risk of believing everyone is learning, students are intellectually engaged, and the class was a success.


In the second classroom, students enter, and they are immediately given a topic or problem to think through, placed into small groups, and provided time to discuss. During the discussion, group members write down their own answers, as well as their peers. The groups then select different members to report to the whole class and groups are given the opportunity to agree or ask for clarity. At the end of class, students turn in their answer sheets and walk away having contributed to their own personal learning and the whole class.


This activity can help students take ownership of their own learning and develop a deeper understanding of content by engaging in multiple representations and opportunities to consistently construct and share knowledge amongst group members.


Tech Tip: If your course has a synchronous component, consider using Zoom Breakout Rooms to partner students and assign groups. Use the Zoom chat feature or a web-based tool, like Padlet, to have students report and submit comments.


This activity encourages individual accountability, knowledge sharing and its evaluation, procedural learning, team learning, group processing, communication skills, and whole-class community building.

"Stolen Focus" by Johan Hari casts a critical eye on the ubiquitous role smartphones play in diluting our capacity to maintain deep, meaningful focus on the tasks that truly matter. This is not merely a matter of personal discipline; it's a systemic issue that touches on the very fabric of how we live and work in a modern society. Understanding the disruptive role of smartphones is vital because it directly impacts our ability to engage deeply with complex problems and devise innovative solutions. In an era where attention is fragmented by incessant notifications and the allure of endless scrolling, recognizing the need to reclaim our focus is the first step towards fostering a culture of sustained productivity and meaningful engagement. This dialogue is essential for anyone committed to personal growth and community impact, as it underscores the importance of intentional action and the transformative power of reclaiming our attention in a distracted world.


This book delves deep into the crisis of attention that plagues our society, particularly spotlighting the colossal impact of smartphone usage on our capability to engage meaningfully with the world around us. As we navigate through the intricate dance of making time for what truly matters, Hari's work provides a crucial understanding that helps us intentionally choose our battles and tasks. It's an essential read for those looking to reclaim the narratives of their lives from the clutches of incessant digital interruptions.


While Hari's analysis is incisive, it parallels issues I remember worrying about while reading Nir Eyal's "Indistractable" - its lack of focus on individuals with less flexibility at home or little power at work. The absence of an intersectional lens in discussing strategies to combat digital distraction somewhat diminishes the power of Hari's structural critiques. Recognizing the diverse challenges faced by individuals across different socio-economic and cultural backgrounds would have added a richer, more inclusive dimension to his already compelling narrative.


I have a form that I only want it to run my code when a pagination page gets focus. Before I just watched for when either the next/previous buttons got clicked or the tab was clicked then check what page had focus. If it was the page I was watching for then I ran the code.


This was done to drastically cut down how often a couple of my lookups were being triggered as part of the data the lookup used is in a table on a previous tab. So each time they added a row or changed a particular field value in that table the lookup I had no need to run just yet would trigger and slow down the form. It was much better to wait until they had entered all of the data in the table and moved to the next tab to run the next lookup(s). These lookup were triggered by manually only copying the unique values entered in the first table, into the next when the tab had focus.


This is really weird. Every other framework I've used does just what you'd expect: puts initial focus on the first control in the tab order. But I've confirmed that it's WPF, not just my app -- if I create a new Window, and just put a TextBox in it, and run the app, the TextBox doesn't have focus until I click on it or press Tab. Yuck.


My actual app is more complicated than just a TextBox. I have several layers of UserControls within UserControls. One of those UserControls has Focusable="True" and KeyDown/KeyUp handlers, and I want it to have the focus as soon as my window opens. I'm still somewhat of a WPF novice, though, and I'm not having much luck figuring out how to do this.


If I start my app and press the Tab key, then focus goes to my focusable control, and it starts working the way I want. But I don't want my users to have to hit Tab before they can start using the window.


I've played around with FocusManager.FocusedElement, but I'm not sure which control to set it on (the top-level Window? the parent that contains the focusable control? the focusable control itself?) or what to set it to.
