$BIGCO where I work requires employees to complete training in
disability awareness and regulations. Rather than just emailing us a
document and making us sign something saying we read it (which is
what would have happened even just 5 years ago), they are forcing us
to login to a 3rd-party web training portal and complete the class
as a combination "watch the video and answer multiple-guess
questions after each segment" thing.
The application is flash-based, so it only works in full-blown
google chrome or IE (their instructions, and I guess IE is now edge,
which is now actually chrome ...sigh). There is no transcript for
the video segments - you have to watch them, and they for some
reason have dubbed everything in the robotic google voices. Apart
from this being pointless and painful, I can't even begin to
describe how ironic it is that we are being made to watch disability
awareness videos in a flash app, the world's least accessible web
platform (the only good thing Apple ever did after 1989 or so was to
effectively get rid of flash by refusing to support it in their
browser).
